Nathan speaks....sometimes he doesn't shut-up. He sings, he talks, he tells you somethings but he isn't a normal 4 year old, or maybe he is....he does his own thing. Autistic, I'm not sure...people who have autistic children look at me like I'm nuts when I tell them his diagnosis is autism. I agree this kid isn't autistic, he's quirky and probably somewhere on the chart...but it is very different and yet similar at times depending on his mood.
He plays with toys, he sleeps through the night, he's potty trained, he is very naughty. He pretends, he dances, he acts out stories, he has very good manners. Thank-you Peter. Please...
"Jump, jump, weee." He says as he jumps off the couch. "abre'!!" "NO, Peter!!" "A treasure chest, hello Mommy."
when asked to bring something to the trash, "NO." When he doesn't want to do something he fakes snores.
Whatever but he's Nate. He's four and he's growing up.
Have they or you looked into Asperger's? It is a LOT like Autism, but very different, too. Worth a look to see if it's what may be going on. Good luck with it all...I can relate to having a special needs child. But -- they are all so very different.
ReplyDeleteI've wondered but mostly I have more of a question about hemihypertrophy and the different development that others talk about. It seems like Autism (aspergers) lumped into the same diagnosis happens far too often also. They are very different to me. Mostly as you know, you just go forward.
