My son is almost 3 years old and he has SOME of the symptoms of autism... he is "teriffied" of children his age, but he has never really been around any kids either. He is VERY shy i mean to the point that usually if someone talks to him that he doesn't know he will cry and want to go home. Other times it just takes him a little bit to "people watch" then he is fine... he is also obessed with fans... not watching or staring at them, just fans in general. If we go into a store he has to point them out and always has to tell me "fans on" or "fans off" 500 times a day! He speaks normally for his age. he makes eye contact and all that stuff i've read but its just that some things don't add up... like the problems with socializing, the fans, teriffied of doctors or any offices that he thinks is a doctor. (He was very sick and in the hospital 2 years ago) other than that, he seems very intelligent, loving, caring and loves to play (just not with kids) no he has not had any bad experiences.
