Talkative children and autistic children?

Question

I have 3 daughters ages 7,5 and 4.They just can't stop talking!Only talking talking talking!!!Yesterday I read some questions of parents whose children have autism.People,why are you complaining?!You are blessed to have children which don't talk.What is autism exactly and how can I make at least one of my children get it?

Answer 1

Don't worry just kill them and you'll be fine

Answer 2

Autism is a brain-based disorder that causes deficits in communication, as well as physical issues, social issues, personal management, etc.

My autistic child can talk, most can, but they don't make sense. Instead of using full sentences, they will say the same word over and over, or repeat the last three words you said. You think talking girls are annoying, you haven't lived until you have a ten year old who keeps saying "Don't eat the poop" for three hours straight.

Beyond that, there's tearing up every piece of furniture in your house, only having plastic dishes and cups because they break all your glass, not being potty trained and finding her playing in her own feces and having to clean her and the carpet, the walls, the faucets, etc, running down the middle of the street nearly getting killed because they don't know that cars are dangerous, there's the bruises and cuts because they don't know that hitting you hurts, and there's no cure ever. We get to live with this until the day we die, and then someone else has to live with it.

Your post is the most ignorant one I've read today, and perhaps the most offensive. Thanks.

Answer 3

Are you serious? You are wishing one of your children have autism? Wow.....I've never heard that one before. Autistic children have delays all through their lives. True, it is a communication disorder but there are lots of other characterstics as well that I would not wish on anyone. How about the social part of it? Some can not make eye contact or do not even acknowledge when you are in the room. They do not like to play with others. Many also have eating disorders and are obsessive about things. Some can't stand touch and can't calm themselves. My nephew has autism and if I were you, I would call the local children's services and report yourself as a neglectful parent. Be lucky that you have 3 NORMAL children!!

Answer 4

I wrote a very lengthy reply to a person asking some questions about autism yesterday. While my answer is certainly not "all-inclusive" and I would encourage others to add to what I wrote, I hope I have at least provided a good start for the person asking about it. That can be found here:

I must agree with others who have already stated here that the premise of your question is absurd. Do you not love your children as they are? Do you really want them to be different from who they are? There are significant challenges that go along with "being different", and having "been different" all of my life, I can assure you that the social implications have made me very very depressed at times. I would not wish that on anybody, but what I would wish for is a bit more social acceptance and social tolerance of people's differences. Your question certainly does not go anywhere near towards achieving that goal.

There is an old expression that goes something like "Be careful for what you wish for, because it might come true."

Answer 5

You cant make your child get it it is a neurological disorder and its not all its cracked up to be and for you to wish that or anything like it on your daughters is wrong...I want you to read this,


When you walked on your tippy toes
at the age of 11 months
We called you Skillful

When you playfully flapped your arms
at the age of one
We called you Adorable

When you methodically piled up the laundered clothes
at the age of 15 months
We called you Eccentric

When you memorized every alphabet, number and color
at the age of 18 months
We called you a Genius

When you climbed the tallest furniture piece
at the age of two
We called you Fearless

When we told them all that you can do
at the age of two
They called you Autistic

And as you keep challenging yourself
to reach out to us
at the age of three
We choose to call you...Awesome

Answer 6

Seriously, this is not funny! You would want to live your life never knowing what your kid wants or needs? Could you get threw life without talking? I'm glad some people find this funny, but you should count your blessings before you speak of such ignorance!

Answer 7

It's normal for 4, 5, and 7-year-olds to be extremley talkative...Get used to it. The talkative thing wears out at age 9 or so.


But, if you really want them to shut up say in a firm voice "I've heard enough."


It works...

Answer 8

i have 6 children 5 of which are at primary school and a new born and i cherish every part of their lives. my nephew is autistic and he is a wonderful child and very vocal in his own way. kids will be kids and you should be grateful for what you have. you shouldnt wish for your kids to get sick besides that you cant make some1 get autism its something they are born with.

Answer 9

I hope this is just the rantng of a frustrated mother who needs some peace and quiet. You are lucky your kids are normal. I wouldn't wish autism on anyone.

Answer 10

you are a complete idiot. You should be happy your children are healthy. Having an autistic child id not a freakin joke and it is hard...very hard for parents. You should be ashamed of yourself.
