Even When you think you are starting to understand ASD...

[Guest guest]

You realize that every ASD child is different. My DH has a nephew who was dx as

PDD-NOS at 5 (he is 6 now)...Its amazing how different it is being around him

than around my own ASD child. Granted my child is only 2.5 but...Nephew A. is

hypersensitive to many things and is hypo sensitive. What a difference. A

doesn't like many foods and things to touch. loves food and mixes things

together LOL (up to the last month, where he has started limiting his diet). Its

amazing, I can see underlying similar but still are very different. Just thought

I would share.....Of course all NT kids are different so I don't know why this

surprises me....I am talking in circles this morning

That one used to burn me the most at 's old school.... " He's nothing

like his brother. He can't have autism. " IDIOTS!!!

I mean, what do they think happens? Theres a blue print of the brain and we

just left off the exact same connection in each kid??

The one hard and fast rule about spectrum kids is that there is no hard and

fast rule! For as many different functioning levels as all our kids have,

and as many things that we share in common over the course of our kids

lives, it's very hard to find a kid that is 'just like' yours. We usually

will have shared the same experiences at one time or another regardless of

the severity of the autism, but they can happen at such different points in

our kids lives.

I see this in my own two low functioning kids. doesn't like

to get dirty. When he was younger, he ate everything with a fork.

, the dirtier the better. doesn't like crowds and

thrives on them. is a very picky eater that won't put

anything in his mouth. eats everything and anything if it

doesn't move ( and a few things that do move) I can let do

his own thing, I have to watch like a hawk.

....and not only that, you'll find that changes too. Jacqui is a

completely different child than a year ago, but still VERY autistic.
