My son can't do basic things at 8 years old. I'm worried. Should I be?

[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 593872, member: 15793"] My daughter hit her milestones okay - even started talking way early. I didn't get clued in until later, by another autism mom, and I thought she couldn't possibly be autistic (this was when she was in pre-school). Time went by and more things started coming to the surface, and even people that worked with autistics previously didn't see it in her - I had to have an expert test her. I've learned a lot since then. What I have is a 11 yro who can calculate the volume of a cylinder that is still learning to brush her hair and can't wash her own hair. Fights me on showers. Veggies? Yeah, doesn't happen, but I'm an Aspie, too (learned that as well) and won't eat veggies either. Luckily we don't have a gluten issue so lots of whole grain breads and pasta here. [/QUOTE]
