Signs Of Mild Autism Where Do I Start. My 1 1/2 Yr Old Son Has Been Diagnosed W/ Mild Autism. Plus He Has Terrible Tantrums.?

Where do I start. My 1 1/2 yr old son has been diagnosed w/ mild autism. Plus he has terrible tantrums.? - signs of mild autism

He cries a lot! Sometimes I do not know why. We can not really go anywhere with him, because I am afraid someone would hit a stranger ~ again. She does not eat anything but toast, waffles, fruit and milk. When angry, he hits his head, pull the floor from front to rear. He gets help, but I can only say that it helps. I am loseing my opinion, slowly but surely. Has anyone advice on not eating and beat his head? He does not speak well. He learned sign language.

I recommend the book "The Out-of-Sync Child" by not eating and activities to beat his head are related. Blows to the head is a behavioral self-stimulation, in which your child probably down if their environment is quiet too overwhelming for him. Try printing (proprioceptive deep) sqeezing activity as firmly between two sofa cushions. Make a game, how to make a sandwich, and it is meat. This deep pressure has a calming effect on the central nervous system and help you relax. Pay special attention to the type of activities you can enjoy. Children have an innate sense of stimulation, which requires the brain. Find the controls that help you the same entry.

Most of the things I can recommend is under the supervision of someone trained in the technique will be implemented. If you still do not see an occupational therapist, you get a referral. Both can with issues of nutrition, temper tantrums and headbanging.

In addition, a research-PLAY, designed by Richard Solomon, and Stanley Greenspan. You can You can find preliminary information on www.playproject.org program. There is some evidence that the project is really exciting PLAY truly effective in improving function in children with autism. I have seen children go from non-verbal and non-verbal and emotional wellbeing in 1-2 years.

It is with play and language for young people with autism and is a synonym for what she says. A consultant to work come home when the parents support of one month and teaches children how to caregivers that he / she is and how to get children at a higher level. You can not play or consultant in your area. It is a very nonobtrusive and treatment works for many children. PLAY consultants not only train, but nobody wants your child (ie play) the nurse.

Also check and www.floortime.org www.stanleygreenspan.com

The play is based on Greenspan is based DIR / Floortime model, with Serena Wieder developed.

Good luck and best wishes for you and your son!

Sorry for your situation.
Have you talked with your child's pediatrician or their teachers? Must be able to demonstrate that the necessary resources to help you when the voltage reaches about you. You also need to be able to help, support groups and a kind of time away from home for you. Someone will come and stay with your child if you can leave after some time.
My heart is with you, really.
I hope you find the help you need and we hope that your child the help they need. I hope you all find peace and a way of life with a difficult situation.
Find resources that can help and support. People who can answer your questions because they have personally dealt with him.
If your child finds a way to communicate to expect your wishes, needs and feelings, which stops the tantrums. Do not give your son needs you.
God bless you.

Have you ever Risperdal? It contributes to mood swings and moves children into the atmosphere as such. I took care of an autistic child, temper tantrums and bad are now used as sweet as sweet can be. The medicine helps me a lot and it feels much better.


I just saw that mdication can start with 5 years. But maybe the younger children somesthing can be given. Or it could help some people who answered this question.

Oh, you poor, I would like to get some answers. Probably not want to quit, or have begun to cry all the time, and still be sure. I hope you make it through fine, but your son loves nothing. God is no one more than they can handle, it is likely that a very strong person. Hang in there. This must be so hard, that makes us appreciate what we have.
