@precioushill_: I want to first say that ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is not limited to one thing, it is not a “one size fit all.” I also want to point out that these are the signs our daughter showed first and just because your child may do ONE of these, does not mean they are or aren’t on the Autism Spectrum. Restricted interests are clinically impairing interests of unusual focus or intensity. A strong preference for maintaining sameness; and ritualistic or habitual patterns of behavior. Not talking (words) non verbal. That just means they use sounds and or other ways to communicate with you that do not involve forming actual words. Mikko makes sounds and outburst screams. Stimming – or self-stimulatory behavior – “is repetitive or unusual body movement or noises. Stimming might include: hand and finger mannerisms – for example, finger-flicking and hand-flapping. unusual body movements – for example, rocking back and forth while sitting or standing.” Mikko flaps and claps at “inappropriate” times. Spinning- may have limited, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests or activities. Tip toe walking- researchers said 20% of children with autism walked on their toes. This is a strikingly high proportion, but it’s important to understand that toe walking alone isn’t enough for doctors to consider an autism diagnosis. One of these signs alone are not enough to diagnose ASD. You could have autism and not display any of the above. I am no expert, we are learning everyday and I hope our videos help the next parent wondering or struggling to know where to start. . . . #asd #autism #autismawareness #adhd #autismacceptance #specialneeds #autistic #autismmom #autismfamily #aspergers #autismspectrumdisorder #autismspectrum #autismsupport #autismlife #autismparents #autismlove #sensoryprocessingdisorder #differentnotless #neurodiversity #autismspeaks #autismdad #actuallyautistic #disability #autismo #anxiety #MentalHealth #downsyndrome #autismcommunity #autismawarenessmonth #autismadvocate
