Parenting of Austism Children

My nephew he is 5 and was dignost when he was 2 with Autisium. It's genetic which not a lot of people believe since they want to blame other reasons. Like a lot of disabilities it stems from the parents boys have it more then girls and some times it can be noticed in younger siblings as well but that is very rare. I've noticed with my nephew because I see him every day and he plays with my two little ones that his parents don't even try to understand him that he is like other 5 years olds when he isn't. He has a mind of a two year old. He can talk and express himself in small secentences but nothing more then that. He won't listen to anyone other then me and my parents we try to understand him but that is because my parents raised 3 children with learning disabilities and I'm one of the three that they raised. I understand him from being in special education all of my life. I talk to him like I do my daughter who is two a lot of things he will do. He doesn't like promises because his parents break them all of the time.

I highly suspect my only child a daughter who is 3 yrs could be autistic. She is delayed in speech and over hyper active. Also between 18 to 24 months she used to walk with her toes and that is the time started doing online research on autism. I still have not taken her for diagnosis because in my country autism diagnosis is still a new thing so i just rely on the internet. I cant wait for my daughter to be fluent like the rest of her classmate because they treat her like a small baby because of her delayed speech also she has a very small body structure.

I hope your child also turns out to be an achiever with all the support and love you give him.Has your wife and her mother recovered from the trauma of losing the father/husband?

My oldest child is a boy of 17 years old and he is going to become 18 years old next month. He has got higher functioning autism. He is fortunately very clever and last year he did five AS Levels. Now in his second year of A Levels he is doing 3 of these. He is studying Maths, Religious Studies and Government and Politics. He wishes to go to university this autumn. My daughter is three years old and normal. My middle child is disabled and therefore in a wheelchair. He has got spina bifida and hydrocephalus with affects his back, hips, legs and feet. When he was two weeks old he got a shunt put in his head to control the extra fluid. I met some autistic children at Springboard Opportunity Service. It is a playgroup for disabled children and those with additional needs. One child joined a special school and a mainstream school. Another child is now talking so he is doing much better. I taught a little boy with autism when I was teaching at a school in Mid Kent. He had a special needs assistant. He was in Year 3 but he was in my Year 2 class. Good luck with your son. My middle son hates going to school.

I have a child that is suspected to have a form of high-functioning autism; he's quite brilliant -was reading when he was two. He loves structure and things just have to be a certain way with him. It's a challenge, yes. And I think it's probably been around longer than we suspected.

Hi, it is very good that the austism of your child can be cures by your love and affection. love has the power to cure mental or physical problems. you have admitted him to austic school. thus he can be normal and you will be more happy again. I wish your child get well soon.
