Again, you are doing unnecessary stuff here. My ordinary gal do all these. She sings like crazy, she also picks up things on the floor to throw into rubbish bin.

Please read up more about autism signs before you stop him. U may actually be preventing him from developing normally like this. Also, there are reasons for some autism behaviour. Like spinning as a self stimulation, it helps bring them back to earth when their sensors overload. So stopping them may not be ideal. Instead, try to improve eye contact, conversation and social skills.

Helplessmum3,

I can understand your anxiety, but besides getting your answers and sharing with us here you should get down to find out more about Autism proper. The earlier you get a clearer picture, the better position you are in to help your child.

Just me $0.02…

helplessmum,


I agree with mashy and auntieM. You can find out more about Autism online. There are a lot of helpful resources (or information) on the internet. Every child is different, so may have different behavior.

I'm attaching two links for your reference

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002494/

http://www.autism.com/

Don't just read from wikipedia. You can google or yahoo search \"autism\" or \"autism spectrum disorder\" to get more information.

The more I read on web the more I got confuse tat is why …

Hiaz and really which is corrects or to believe .

General information about Autism are pretty much similar if you will to google on the websites.


Which part are you confuse? If you are talking about treatments, then it’s solely up to individual and which treatments you believe in. If you are talking are autistic symptoms, you can research more for the certain traits which autistic kids tend to exhibit as compared to NT kids.

Hi schweppes,


Wondering do you have any idea if antibiotics will cause havoc or any change in a child’s behavior? All along my girl do not any behavior problem except her lack of eye contact, short attention span and echoliala.

Due to my child’s prolong cough, the KKH doc prescribed my girl’s antibiotics and hence I stopped giving her regular dose of probiotics for the fear antibiotics may not work well with probiotics. After she has completed her 1 week of antibiotics, her behavior started to regress. She started licking at everything (eg wall, floor) and put anything (even pen knife) into her mouth. She never have such OCD at all.

Now I’m getting worried and intend pay the B2B lady a visit this Sat to get some useful supplements while waiting for the appointment with Dr Erwin. I really regretted giving her the antibiotics.

I actually give probiotics whenever I start on antibiotics. That’s becoz probiotics protects the guts and stop them from diarrhea.
