I honestly suspect that my baby brother (3 years-old) has fully developed many of the symptoms of autism. I'm really concerned and I want to know if he has it or not.
The reason I want to know is because I don't want him to be misinterpreted, harrassed, or mistreated later on in life. I want to know how I can help him if he has autism. I want to know if I can work with him to help him overcome his developmental issues.
I've seen and been with many, many children. I've seen babies grow up to be incredible bright, and I've also seen mentally-retarded babies. Sure, it's sad to be mentally-retarded. But to me, it's even sadder if there's nothing you can do about it.
I'm sure there's help for autistic people out there... but how do they find out if they're autistic or not? How can I get my baby brother checked out?
My mom took him to a baby language and growth thing at the hospital... and apparently, they told her that he had no problems. I asked her if we could get him checked
