mild autism????

[snoobydoo]

hi sorry for the topic .. i dont know mild autism is right word or not but i have an appointment for my 22 months old son. Doctor had test over his behaviour and her answer basically was" he has some autistic behaviour very very mild i believe 6-8 months therapy( aba therapy) he would grow out of it completely."

is it true? can he grow out of it ? i dont wanna offence or upset anyone just want him to has his best life not a hard life.

I don't know anything about abs therapy. Have you tried asking on the SN section? You'll probably get a few MNers who know about it in there.

Please look into aba therapy before you let anyone near your child. I have 2 autistic kids and i would never let anyone do aba on my kids.
I would also speak to another doctor. It's not normal for a gp to give their opinion like that and autism isn't something that can be grown out of.
What is the behaviours she was talking about and has she put any referrals in for you?
