I'm very new to all this too, so maybe don't have a right to comment but I had a similar story to yours. I made an appointment to see a top specialist in my area and I delayed it once (for about 4 months) because what I thought was my son's main issue - i.e. he wasn't speaking - was no longer such a...

Thanks Wedge for finding that for me.
Yes ruennsheng - it is very important to learn to swim if you live in Australia. There are beaches very close to where we live and many people have back yard swimming pools and it is swimming weather for a large part of the year.

How is your child's speech now? My son has just turned 3 and has only just been diagnosed with ASD. He has bee...

My son is only 3 and just been diagnosed. We are seeing a lot of hitting too. I think it is usually because he doesn't have the words to express his displeasure verbally.
