[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 106315, member: 84"] Terry Like the others have said, other things need to be present as well. Travis never lined up his toys as I recall. Never. But he has other characteristics that all but screamed autism since infancy. His motor skills and speech were delayed, while he at times chose to play with other children, he usually played along side them rather than actually "with" them, but it was far more common to see him off to the side doing his own thing, he had a disturbing tendency to actually "zone out completely" from the world around him, among many others. I have actual video tape of this as my Mom used to visit and tape the kids playing for hours. lol Even if you read the list of "symptoms or characteristics" you don't have to present with all of them or even exactly as it's stated to have the disorder. (true for any sort of diagnosis physical or mental) And you can have the traits present but not actually have the disorder at all. My best friend is finally biting the bullet and getting her son a neuropsychologist evaluation. He and Travis are so much carbon copies of each other it's down right eerie. When I go visit the lil guy it's like watching Travis as a little kid again. Grandson Darrin is showing traits of autism. The older he gets, the stronger they seem to come across. Yet I still view them more as traits and we're watching him. He has no speech/language delay, plays ok so far, ect. Autism seems pretty common in husband's family, either as strong traits or the disorder itself. It's weird to see. Hugs [/QUOTE]
