Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi , I have the same question. My son is 10. I didn't expect it until around 12. How did the pediatrician confirm that he started puberty?Thanks Sent from my Palm Pre on the Now Network from Sprint Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with early onset of puberty. Aden has started puberty, I took him to the peditrician today who confirmed my suspisions. Aden is only 8 and I'm concerned that this is too early. We are following up with the endo next Monday, and I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with this and has any suggestions of questions I should ask or issues that should be addressed. Any advice would be appreciated, Mom to Aden 8 DS ASD ADHD and Aren 5 ADHD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Our son did too they did a testerone test on him when he was 10 and it showed he was in full blown puberty. That Dr. said that kids with autism actually tend to go into puberty early??? Go figure?

She has little pimples all over her face and little boobies, and I don't even want to go you know where…………..I have no suggestions sorry Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with early onset of puberty.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Elie began puberty at age 8. By age 10, he was 'man' enough to cause his female teachers concern!! our endo said that he was 'normal' in this respect.  Hi all,  I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with early onset of puberty.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Our daughter was a little woman at 10, with all the " teenage-itis " that goes with it! She is small in size, so we can handle her physically. Because we have found a communication system that works for us when our daughter cannot speak, we are able to avoid the most violent outbursts. We are very fortunate. Being able to communicate, and reduce the fear and stress has been our key to managing the outbursts so far. But, I have a close friend who has an autistic son, who is over 200 pounds at age 14, and his communication skills are minimal. He is so strong, it scares the whole family when he has these outbursts. He punches holes in walls, and breaks things often. She needs help to manage his outbursts. He has injured her during these outbursts. I suggest that you work on getting at-home assistance as soon as you can. I wish I could say it gets easier, but it doesn't always. My friend's son has to be medicated to help control the outbursts. I hear it gets easier around age 20, when the hormones settle down to " normal " , but I'm not there yet, so I don't know for sure. Thanks for all the answers, at least I know I'm not alone. The ped did a physical exam.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I agree, we just taught nathan public vs private, asked him if he needed to go to bathroom and if he didnt, then directed him to his bedroom stating that was private and to be done in his bedroom. Try not to make a big deal out of it, remember attention is attention wheather for good or bad. And, dont worry it passes, nathan is 20yrs and I do remeber going throught that constant groping of himself, but dont remember when he last done this its been so long now. shawna http://sewshawna.blogspot.com To: Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 1:58 PMSubject: Re: Early puberty We taught that this is private - in your room behavior.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 We taught Aden that if he wants to stim he needs to go to his room and close the door. When he started his "new stim" he did so in his room with the door closed. It was actually one of the easier things to teach him.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 The communication is my top concern right now. I feel like we are at a crossroads right now with which direction to go in. My Jo is almost 10 and I am seeing signs of puberty and she is still using single words to communicate and her enunciation is still so poor half the time I do not make out the word unless it is one of her top 20. So…I have thought about some of this technology but she is a thrower and I fear she would kill any hard drive that was not nailed down. What are your thoughts on requirements of behavior on some of this stuff and how did you get it across to your little (or not so little anymore) ones? We are meeting with the TEACCH specialists next month (finally) for our 6 sessions so I am hopeful they will shed some light on the direction as well. Thank you ~Melody Poli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
