2 year old autistic symptoms

[appu1]

Hi all.. my two year old shows lots of autistic symptoms, doesn’t talk, no eye contact, he falls on to the ground and rubs his head against the surface , keeps running all the time , can’t point..But he looks for me when I am not around gets his shoes and coat to me asking me to take him out , he says no when he doesnt like anything . I am really worried about his future .. can therapies help him , can he improve... can he go to a regular school...any mother’s whose kids diagnosed with autism at toddler age and got better by therapies

Hi there please have a look at the SN boards for lots of us with all different advice and journeys etc. One thing I would say is that, if your child is on the spectrum, it's not something to automatically worry about. My DS is 4 and is on an ASC diagnostic pathway. He is also a funny, loving, warmhearted, amazing little boy who is clever and witty - but in his own time in his own way. Trying to get him to focus on something when he is not in the mood is a challenge. His busy reception classroom is a challenge. Moving something in the house results in upset and outrage (but why would you move that, mummy?) as do changes in routines unless we talk a lot about them beforehand, use visual stories, etc. Being clear and not using idiomatic language. Understanding him and letting him be him as he grows up. Picking my battles. Using positive behaviour management techniques. But I wouldn't change a thing about him, he is him, ASC and all. So try not to worry. DS never pointed either or showed me things until he started school and now he does nothing but point stuff out (usually many different types of train or tractor). Google neurodiversity, it's very interesting and can hep shift your perspectives to a more diverse viewpoint. Also if you're on twitter, the actuallyautistic hashtag is great for interacting with adults with ASC.

Thank you so much for the reply .. I will look for sn boards
