[QUOTE="SRL, post: 6946, member: 701"] Honey, you haven't lived until you have a kid like this in the house! I had to supervise mine nonstop (literally not leave a room without him if I could help it) because his determination to do what he wanted knew no bounds. He brushed his teeth in the toilet, wrote on himself or the walls, emptied out cupboards and the fridge, fed his sister concoctions (once a glass of water with hot pepper mixed in. In the time it would take me to move laundry from the washer to the dryer anything could happen. He just didn't learn a lesson: I bet he and I went head to head over pushing a chair to the counter 100 times whereas that would have been a done deal with my others after one or two attempts. Those guidelines are indicative of the need for immediate referral for evaluation, including for Autism, not for confirmation. If you decide to pass them on to the parent make sure they understand the difference between referral and a definite indication of Autism! Parents get really nervous at the first mention of the word Autism, and understandably so. But what happens if they don't go into their pediatrician armed with some concern and determination of their own is that they get partial evaluations such as through early intervention and not the whole works that is really needed at that young age.
