Yes: Although an official diagnosis is not needed to start necessary therapies do not be afraid of a label. Some therapies like aba, which are very helpful, are not covered without an official diagnosis. Other services, like respite care  or grants and other funding may not be accessible without it.  If social security is needed for long term care it will also be necessary.

Accepted Answer

Child psychiatrist: You should take him to the office of a skilled child psychiatrist to clarify why this happens. Sometimes it is not a severe condition like autism, but other (easy to correct) factors, like siblings dynamics, general health issues, environmental exposure, etc, might be the cause. Get him examined, your pediatrician may guide you.

Question 8

my 18 month old isn't walking.  she can cruise furniture, go for sitting to standing, walk between two people but won't let go on her on.  walks/ runs on knees. is in physio and they don't see a physical reason.  could this mean she has autism?

Accepted Answer

: I understand your concerns. I will take the easy possibility first. I have seen us where a child does not feel comfortable walking because of the structure of his feet or legs or both. Sometimes putting the child in a three-quarter rigid soul , high top shoe. This will provide stability to the feet.There are many other reasons why your child is not walking. Please seek medical attention

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Autism causes: It is suspected that autism develops from a combination of a genetic predisposition which is triggered by a single or combination of unknown environmental triggers.  Thousands of theories are in circulation, but to date none have been indisputably confirmed.

Question 10

i can't stop crying in front of people for no reason for the past two month.what do i do?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Your crying can be an indication of depression or grief if you have had a recent loss or change. Observe associations or patterns occurring with the episodes. There can be physical reasons for these as well. Your primary care doctor can screen for and diagnose disorders by physical exam/tests. You may be referred for brain scans, other radiology studies, and to a specialist. See your doctor.
