I'm looking for some advice about DS1 (2.5) as I think we have to try and get him some help. For a while now, I have been umming and ahhing over whether he might have an ASD. Over Christmas, he seems to have totally regressed though, which is heartbreaking to watch.
He's been very withdrawn from anybody other than me, my partner and his little brother this past week. However, things have taken a turn for the worse in that he actually seemed frightened of me this morning. He did the thing that he normally does with strangers and refused to come into the living room, just kept calling for Daddy. He's warmed up a bit and he was talking to me before falling asleep cuddled up to me about an hour ago but I'm still very concerned.
Does this seem like a normal symptom of regression? He kind of seems as if he's regressing and improving and then regressing again almost hour by hour if that makes sense. He also seems very pale and tired all the time. I have booked a dr's appointment for Thurs, and we are trying to get an ABA programme in place as soon as possible, but do you think there could be something medical going on as well? There is some epilepsy in my family so wondered about that.
