@Fay hand flapping. Screaming for no reason. Meltdowns. Crying everytime and high-pitched screaming at the same time. Hates brushing teeth. Loves being alone. Doesn't even want her brother in her space. Meltdowns in crowded places. Always moving
As an autistic person… don’t worry about eye contact it’s overrated… like I hate when I feel forced to make eye contact it’s so uncomfortable…
Is she speech delayed? Ive been wondering if my son might have autism or adhd. He is almost 3 he says probably around 200+ words but only does broken sentences or repeats them if I say them. He also stims alot. He makes great eye contact, plays with his brother and other kids. Trys to talk to them. Its moslty the stimming and not talking in sentences that makes me think he might be?
@Jalyn there is different types of autism lovely so possible x
@Fay Right! My husband growing up got told he has adhd and im starting to think I might too! Neither one of us got told we had autism but wondering if maybe my husband might be.
I recommend timers and visuals. So if you are going out and have an itinerary, write it down and show her. And refer to it often. Teach the sign for break and that can help her express when she is overwhelmed. Tantrums are often signs of miscommunication or overstimulating. You can build up to outings if you need to.
What was your signs ? Also plenty of support groups on Facebook also if she’s into screen time Amazon kids tablets get replaced next day if she breaks them xx
