It hurts my eyes to read it, no joke. Also, you may receive more helpful replies if you move this thread to the Parents Forum. Well...

Sounds a lot like stimming (vocal and with hands) and sensory overload to me. What exactly was your question? I just wanted to get know if that is what it is. Things like this are things I did not pay attention to or just thought were part of his personality. The more I researched the more I see th...

I am not Autistic in anyway but I can see you are concerned and left with a bunch of questions and confusion. When I took my son to a psychologist at age 3, I was told nothing was wrong with him.

I would like to add he is academically doing great! No complaints with that with teachers and school staff. They say he is doing great.

Hello all, My 8 year old son is a wonderful boy, from the time he was 12-18 months old especially age 2, I noticed some things were different about him than other typical children.
