[QUOTE="libranaster, post: 149140, member: 5154"] I have just finished saying in another post that I do suffer from depression and anxiety and I have all my life and I know he doesn't suffer from those believe me if he did he would be easier to deal with. I was worried about autism but from what I have read kids with autism are not very social and although Elijah can be clingy he is not anti social he will run off and play if there are other kids to play with. He especially likes physical stuff like play equiptment and play gyms and what ever else but when it comes to indoor toys he is just absent of all ability to play unless his sister helps him and she is a 5 year old girl going through the he is too little to play with me faze and besides she has gone above and beyond what a little girl should do to help her mum and she still does. I tell people all the time that I don't know what I would do without her and she is only 5. One night when Elijah wouldn't sleep and she could see I was exhausted she set them up in the lounge room and they had a mini sleep over watching wiggles that night and she sent me to bed. What other 5 year old would do that for her exhausted mum. Its like having children on 2 ends of the scale my daughter is the dream child that you sometimes wonder if she wasn't sent directly from heaven and my son is a monster that you wonder if he isn't some kind of punishment from hell. He screams and rampages and ever since he was born my poor little girl has had to help mummy and be supportive and she is just a kid and I do worry it effects her but it seems to be in her nature to care for people. I tell her she should be a nurse when she grows up she is that caring to others. She is not a judgemental child either she is the child that people who's children have the disorders mentioned on here hope will make friends with their child. I can not praise her enough she has helped a ton for her age. So this was just a long winded way of saying I used to think autism but he is just too social. He can say some words if he likes something like he loves batman so he can say that and doggy and dad and mum and dwink and all that but he doesn't say sentences and most of the time he just babbles away. It is like he is still a baby but babies are not big and heavy and as mobile as a 3 year old :devil2:. So if you imagine taking a 10 month old and putting him in the body of a 3 year old your where I am at. I mean a 10 month old will play but not by themself, they will cry if you raise your voice no matter what you say. When I think about eye contact with Elijah its just not something I entirely notice I would say he makes it but then he kind of doesn't stop long enough for me to really know.
