Hiya. I'm not sure if I've posted in the right place. My DS is 3 years old and is going through tests for autism, I have been told he most likely has it but he is still undiagnosed and I have no experience with autism so I was wondering whether anybody here could offer their opinions
.
- He's scared of loud noises or noises he doesn't recognise, he will cover his ears and scream
- he won't go in the bath but loves water
- he doesn't talk at all but can hum tunes to certain songs eg. ABC song, shape song
- he has no understanding of what I'm saying to him except 'no'
- he communicates by taking my hand to the place he wants something from eg. Will take me to the sink if he wants a drink
- he is still in nappies as has no understanding of me trying to potty train him
- he can't role play with toys, just lines them up
- he rocks side to side swaying his arms to show his excitement and spins around in a circle a lot
- he gets extremely frustrated over everything and kicks and lashes out and theirs no consoling him
- he won't try foods he doesn't recognise
- he won't go into indoor places without screaming, it's like he is scared, therefore is yet to go to nursery
