Do you think my daughter has autism?!


Question: Do you think my daughter has autism!?
I have recently talked with my daughter's counselors and they both in agreement think she has autism, and referred me to a child psychologist out of town!. Here are some of the odd behaviors my daughter has been experiencing 1!.Crying for any reason, (I mean any) her sister can go outside and get a little dirty and she will cry just one example!. 2!. She didn't talk until she was 3, or wave bye bye until she was 2, although she walked at 9 months!. Her 3 year old sister has taught her numbers and colors!. Sometimes (not always) she gazes off and I ask her something and she doesn't answer!. She is very backward I would say!. Doesn't do well with social interaction!. She becomes very attached to some things ex!. blankets!. Her counselor's have told me that my 5 year old has the mentality of my 3 year old!.!.She was originally diagnosed with ADHD!. She now is having an accidents in her pants almost on a daily basis!. She is scared of loud noises and sounds!. She is afraid to ask to go to the bathroom!. She doesn't talk to people that she is not familiar with on a daily basis!. Please if anyone knows of anyone with these symptoms or even a few please leave me a comment, I am so very worried! THANKSWww@Answer-Health@Com

good luck but sounds like she may need to be assessed and if she does my Heart goes out to you!. be strong!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

its hard to say, definitely a good idea to have her diagnosed but make sure the doctor knows something about autism
it may take a few doctors to get the right diagnosis
also read about the feingold diet, its an elimination diet, also one that eliminates artificial flavours and colors and preservatives!.
also vitamins can help too
another good book / please do not label my child
take careWww@Answer-Health@Com

I have deep empathy for you but I feel this is not the forum for something so critically important for you and your daughter!. If you want a haircut go to a barber sort of thing!. Seek out the pros and my thoughts and prayers go out to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think thats a stage my lil sis is like that and shes 4
1!.shes scared to go to the restroom by herself
2!.wets herself more often
3!.short attetion span for her age
its to soon to see if she has autism just wait a whileWww@Answer-Health@Com

She might be, but when I was her age I was liked that too but am fine now give her sometime!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Does she tend to line things up in order!?
Because, if so, she might have autism!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

well what i can tell u is that i dont trust doctors in the least bit!.!.!.they r always very quick to diagnose!. i can also tell u my 3 year old daughter will also cry for any reason, her toy might be on the floor and similar reasons that make no sense!. she is also afriad of noises they dont have to be loud she will just start crying!. and i am pretty sure it is normal for children to have attachment to objects!.it may be she is just developing slower than other children or has anxiety!. it sounds like what is going on is really affecting her life and my best advice would be to do some searching on the internet about the topic since i have noticed many people that give advice on here are not experts and give unreliable informationWww@Answer-Health@Com
