Question 1

if one parent has a very mild form of autism, would his child most surely have autism?

Accepted Answer

Not sure.: Autism is a disorder that is very difficult to attribute to one specific factor.

Question 2

can you tell me how i can tell my parents that i think i have autism?

Accepted Answer

Why do you ask?: If you're here at healthtap, chances are you recognize features of high-functioning autism in yourself. Good for you. Many consider it a gift. You can focus on academic pursuits, and reading people's feelings and learning to talk with them can be learned. Say only nice things, find a strength or endurance sport that requires little coordination, enjoy being you, and what's there to talk about?

Question 3

hi can anyone please tell me what happens at feedback appointment /outcome with autism intervention team for child , parent appointment only thankyou ?

Accepted Answer

Parents become not : only integral members of the intervention team, they inform the team of family priorities, strengths &amp; needs. The professionals explain the child's measured  cognitive, adaptive &amp; motor levels &amp; the measured degree of Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Then, the entire team creates an individualized treatment plan with outcome measures. See: https://www.autismspeaks.org/site-wide/uk

Question 4

help please! is autism genetic, can it be passed from parent to child?

Yes: There is a complex polygenic predisposition .Single nucleotide polymorphisms have been identified in some cases(single gene mistakes). There are a number of specific genetic abn that have been associated with autism-that are identifiable. Most often it is complex and not specifically identifiable.

Question 6

is it abuse when your parents lock you out of the house when they're not home&its cold-you have no way to use the br-&you have autism&heart problems?

Accepted Answer

MAYBE: Depends on more factors and need more information. Do you live with your parents? Did you do something so they do not trust you? Did you lose your keys so they will not allow you to have them? Do you drive or have other relatives or friends? Do you work?
You are no longer a minor child so you may need to explore other options. Try to speak with your parents and work out a plan.

Question 7

how many parents try a gluten free and casein free diet for children with autism?

Accepted Answer

TOO  many: Sadly autism is complicated, not terribly well understood yet-though quite a bit better. And there are too many false hopes that go viral.
Please have a thorough, comfortable discussion with a physician that struggles with helping in what can be a pernicious malady for not only the child, but the immediate and even extended family.

Question 8

did you hear about autism parents flocking to colorado for cannibis oil to treat their children having seziures?

Accepted Answer

Although studies on : efficacy &amp; safety have barely begun, parents of children with intractable epilepsy, with or without Autism, have purchased CBD oil in Colorado. Since medical marijuana is now legal in Nevada, affected families don't have to leave home. My hometown has  always  promoted cohort situational behaviors in visitors, leaving the visitors feeling slightly naughty &amp; happy &amp; us with no state income tax.

Question 9
