When your ASD kiddos/Teens(Not so much adult) went through growth spurts, what behaviors or symptoms did they have? Were any of them worrisome?
Thank you everyone for the feedback! @MyAutismTeam users... I greatly appreciate it!!
@A MyAutismTeam Member What did your son do during the regression period? Aziel's mind is delayed as well.
I went through a growth spurt in late middle school/early high school. They say kids sometimes gain a little weight before they sprout up, but I was skinny until about 10th/11th grade. Not that I was heavy by any stretch of the imagination, but I was solid. I started high school at 5'4 and roughly 135 pounds and graduated at 5'7 and 185 pounds. I was also a men's 7.5 shoe at the beginning and and 8.5 when I graduated. When I hit around 30, I had to go up to a 9 and that's where I am today :)
My son, now 14, will eat and eat and constantly be hungry. It took me a while but I figured it out; When he's going thru a growth spurt is when this happens
We notice Joseph having regression periods. We think he may experience a growth spurt and he's returning to what is comfortable (regression behaviors). I sometimes think it's his brain and body trying to resync during growth spurt since his mind is delayed but his body is growing on schedule.
I always notice increased appetite with Liam. Sometimes he will get upset and have meltdowns during a growth spurt if he can't eat pretty much constantly.
