Do you think the MMR vaccine causes autism? and Why do you think this?
Can autism be cured by fixing the diet?
I saw this video of this guy who says that bout 70 % of autistic kids have altered immune function and nearly 95 % have problems with their gut... He said he cut out foods that inflame the gut gluten and dairy or something which in turn inflame the brain which leads to autism. I just think it's interesting that many kids with autism have problems with their gut. I don't think it's a coincidence. Oh here's the video youtube.com watch?v 0CpHwZR6k20
What sex is autism most common in?
What sex is autism spectrum disorder most common in? and why?
I would like to train my Belgian puppy to be a service dog for my child w/ autism. Any resource suggestions?
The puppy is intended as a family member playmate for her, but I also want it to accompany us on outings to help keep her out of danger as she goes through adolescence. I have read answers to similar questions, so I want to be clear...I plan to do this, and I am not getting a service dog from elsewhere. Hence, don't waste your time telling me it won't work. I will persevere. If I listened to others saying things wouldn't work, my daughter wouldn't be able to do half the things she can do now.So, any positive input on making this happen?Lady Jane and Kristen can't even bother to read answer the question that was posed. Rather they go forth spouting their own judgmental views. I never once said anything about tethering my child to a dog and I have many years of experience with obedience and agility training. My daughter has done equestrian therapy for years and we know that tethering a child to any animal is dangerous, thus we would never do so. I am not just relying on the Internet which again was a judgmental assumption on their part. They obviously have no experience with autism and service dogs, because their answer do not account for how service dogs are used with autistic children. Therapy dogs for autism are about social interaction and danger warning, not picking up things from the floor or leading the child down the street. Finally, I asked for only positive responses for additional resources, not judgmental opinions. Please, if can't answer my question, don't waste my time with your judgments.

Do I have some form of autism? Or am I just a major loser?
I have always found it hard to communicate with people. At night I've always liked to daydream as I listened to music about how my day to day life would be should I have been more fun and outgoing, and in my mind, I think of myself as a much more upbeat and vibrant socialite. However, at school just turned 16, will be a junior I am practically emotionless around people and I find it hard to interact with anyone. I almost become stoic. Up to now, I have always thought of me as being really, really, really shy, like a brick wall barricades the social aspects of my mind. When someone talks to me at school, I react really awkwardsly, and choke up and stutter, and the infuriating thing is that my whole life I have been self aware of this fact, and haven't been able to bring myself to go against it. I've gone through entire lunch periods where I had just sat at the table motionless and unresponsive, and most of the time I pray that noone ever turns to me to talk to them, knowing that I would never be able to respond to them. Of course, later on I would be able to reflect on how dorky the decision is, and am even able to think of great ways of carrying the conversation.I basically have zero friends, and I would like to do anything to change it.P.S. I have found that insanely large amounts of caffeine helps some, but the track record isn't 100 percent positive. The one thing I am able to talk about okay ly given major prompting and by people I don't feel so awkward around are classes and grades, both of which are things I majorly excel in. Over the past few months, I have been edging closer to the person I have been thinking I am in my mind, but in the end I am still friendless and I still fee as though I am a boring loser and would love anyone's help. I have gone through half of my high school life, and it has sucked, so please help me.And lastly I would like to note I haven't proofread or broke off the prompt into the paragraphs it should be in. I am hoping someone would like to overlook that fact and help me anyway. Much appreciated
Some questions about autism?
1. Do you just go to your every day doctor? Or do you have to see a specialist?2. How to they determin whether you're autistic or not? Tests? Questions?3. They discover you're autistic what happens then?Just FYI, I'm 16. I did an online test as a rough guid and as it said it was highly likely I'm autistic, I'm considering getting a professional opinion but I'm scared about the whole process.elizabeth How do I find someone who specialises in it? Do they have a given name? The profession, not the actual person. And that's why I want to know it would explain a lot. As for what test did I do, I am not sure but I do also seem to show symptoms of OCD.. If I go to a doctor about this, would they be able to also look into that? Thanks.
I sometimes wonder if my son has autism?
My son just turned 2 a few weeks ago. He does not talk at all. He does babble quite a bit and is very communicative with his hands and facial expressions. He has great eye contact, smiles a lot, plays well around others, does not have any texture issues, eats practically anything, sleeps well, etc. The main issue is that he is not talking at all. He understands me for the most part, as well as a two year old would, but since he is a boy everyone immediately suggests he is autistic when they realize he is not using words. He does not get frustrated about his speech, since he and I have an unspoken language between us. I contacted two different speech therapists. The first evaluation ended with the therapist saying his language is delayed duh and she wanted to reevaluate in 5 months. The second therapist has not met with us yet. So please, do not suggest I seek a speech therapist, I am already knee deep in it. I want to know if there are any other parents who have experienced a large language delay without having the other issues. I think i just need some peace of mind from people in my shoes.
My boyfriend has high-functioning autism, what i can do to help him?
i couldn't even tell he was autistic....i don't care that he is....i want to know how i can help him...for whatever reason i'm the only one who he can look directly in the eyes...i use this to my advantage so he'll talk to me...i let him take as long as he needs...it take hours sometimes but i think once he talks to someone it really helps him...but i want to know if there is more i can do...so i shouldn't force him to talk to me?maybe force was to strong of a word...i don t force him...i more persuade him to talk to me.
Does he have autism or something?
I know a 6 year old boy with major speech difficulty receptive language is fine, world development is normal but she doesn't pronounce right . He has no eye contact when talking to people. flaps his hands, spins, and knocks his head against walls frequently. Seems to do better with computers then humans. Show few outward signs of emotion except when he thinks he is suppose to. Handwriting is atrocious and has other fine motor difficultly. He is a wiz at science and math though gets confused with the greater than, less than symbols . Appears hyperlexic but unable to retain or understand what he has read. He can be hyper focused when he wants to be, noticing every little thing about an abject or person. Is something wrong with him?He saw a councilor and the councilor said it wasn't ADHD and that he has an abnornally high IQ. He could focus for very long amounts of time and came up with a very and complex story attached to a picture that used all elements involved. His school wants him medicated and in special ed even though he is doing equal to or better then his peers in all graded areas.
Do i have Autism????
I dont know... So when i was born, the doctors told my mom i had autism... but my mom didnt listen.. I dont know if you can do that... but anyway. I'm 13 years old now, and i THINK i might have some of the symptoms. Okay, so first, i'm EXTREMELY shy, and i have a REALLY squeaky voice.... and i always want to do things by myself... i think i might have a social isolation problem, And i dont like hanging around other people much... i like just being by myself, and i really dont know why.... but heres something i found, of some of the symptoms, and the ones i pasted are the ones i have. And in no way am i trying to offend anybody, this is a serious question, and i need to know if i should inform my mom doctor. Impaired reciprocal social interaction Examples include the following Poor use of body language and nonverbal communication, such as eye contact, facial expressions, and gesturesLack of awareness of feelings of others and the expression of emotions, such as pleasure laughing or distress crying , for reasons not apparent to othersRemaining aloof, preferring to be aloneDifficulty interacting with other people and failure to make peer friendshipsMay not want to cuddle or be cuddledLack of or abnormal social playNot responding to verbal cues acting as if deaf Impaired communication Difficulty expressing needs and wants, verbally and or nonverballyRepeating words or phrases back when spoken to known as echolalia Inability to initiate or sustain conversationAbsent or poorly developed imaginary play Behavioral symptoms Aggressive or self injurious behaviorThrowing tantrumsShort attention spanNot responding to normal teaching methodsPlaying in odd or unusual waysHaving no apparent fear of dangerous situations sort of So those are the symptoms..But ive been to quite a few checkups, so wouldnt the doctor notice something was wrong? And if i tell my mom... im scared she wont belive me. So does this mean i have autism, or are these just common symptoms. I also have Anger Management, but i dont like go in the anger management room in school. DrSDoesnt Really Bother Me Much. Yeah, i guess i could say it makes me happy.
Autism and medication?
My son is 4 y o. He has severe autism and ADHD. I know typically Dr. do not like to prescribe medication before 5 yrs of age. However, my son is 4.5 and is well over 70 lbs. I am looking to medication as one of my last resources of help. He is extremely active constantly in motion and horribly impulsive. He melts down cries, kicks, falls out, scream, and vocalizes un provoked, continuously. Life is nearly unbearable as everything is based around my son s behavior. My family is nearly shut in because of his extreme behavior. After long thought I decided medication would be needed as a tool to help him. My question is what are some known medications used to treat autism,compulsively, a mood stabilizer in young children.
