| My son is very sociable and affectionate, and he doesn't look autistic at all. His behaviour is also "normal". No major tantrums or meltdowns, he likes to spend time outdoors, bushwalking or going to the swimming pool... The only give-away is his fixation on ceiling fans and doors. And, he is very c... |

| I am not going to hurt him. I just don't want him to suffer to the extent that he will think his life is a failure due to AS. |

Hi,
I am a mother of a 3 year old boy dx with mild autism. We started early intervention (mainly it's occupational therapy). Did you see any benefits or progress in your children who had early intervention? How long did it take to see the improvements?
Thanks. |

I have done lots of research and reading on this subject (including this forum) that I am feeling simply hopeless and scared of raising him or what the future holds for him.
