While a child with Asperger's Syndrome, may have, in hind sight, displayed unusual behavior as an infant, the association of the behavior with AS could only have been made in hind sight. It would not have been appropriate to make such a diagnosis of such a young child, so I am assuming they suspected your child was more along the lines of having classic autism. In that instance, where infants are displaying stereotypical autistic behavior, they should be evaluated by a neurologist as sometimes these behaviors are caused by certain neurological issues, such as Rett Syndrome or agnesis of the corpus callosum.


Are you a doctor? You don't know my kid so I really don't care what you think. So sick of this response.

My hope is that any parent that see this and notices differences in their babies to seek professional help. Early intervention has helped my son in leaps and bounds. The old wait and see theory is bad advice. If any parents out there want to discuss this further please feel free to PM me.

I never once asked for advice on his diagnosis, treatment suggestions only. But I guess you are right. If I can't get any true support from this site, and instead just negative energy I should leave.

I think what's going on is that Ryio wanted advice a year ago, but not now. Notice the year gap in posts on the 4th page. It's easy to miss, though, and I would have started a new thread so people wouldn't give advice based on an old request for it.

The original poster was out of line. It was an inflammatory response to an honest attempt to help, which was at worst easily misconstruable as unwanted advice for the OP, and even then only because of an easy-to-miss time gap in posts. I would have simply asked "no more advice please." Or no more replies, if I was in such a bad mood as not to want any at all, even directed at other parents stumbling upon this.

Hi Chronos,

You are right, I was out of line and I am sorry. It has been a year since my original post and I simple just wanted to update the people that were originally so helpful in this post to me. I don't come on here often and didn't realize that it would "bump" up my thread. Anyways, it is hard for us parents. I just received his re-diagnosis and it was tough for me. It was a bad day and again I am sorry for attacking your help.
