My ds is 3.5 and has ASD. We have just come from a wedding and I noticed how differently people were responding to ds compared to other children. Many just acted like he wasn't there or gave him weird stares. I feel as if my heart is falling into my stomach. No one knows about his diagnosis but they can clearly see that he is different. Not only because he is not talking but also because he does not respond to people, even waving is too much and he just runs about rather than playing with toys.
Does any one have any experience of this type of thing when their lo was young? If so, does it get better or do ASD differences become more obvious??
