My daughter is 6yrs old and non verbal. She's beginning to mumble alot and repeat words. She loves to watch shows in different languages. Will this hinder her from learning her primary language first?

How can you tell the difference between typical toddler behaviour and mild ASD?
The first sign is lots of crying and tantrum. They cry if you offer to play, offer to go to the playground, to eat, to swing, to walk to the next corner and lay down on the floor a lot. They cry even… read more

I see the label HFA and I just wonder how it differs from Aspergers.
Our diagnostician says the only difference in HFA and Aspergers is the spelling
Hello this is NOT a question about my child/ren.
I am just curious if there is anyone out there who's nonverbal child signs fluently? Meaning they have many many words (including attributes/adjectives, adverbs) and signs in complete sentences?
My question is not if sign language is taught or what else is there...just curious to see if there is even a single non-verbal person with autism who was taught sign as an communication method who… read more

Please share your happy/positive stories: when your kids got better, when they properly started to communicative, when behavior got better, and when u finally felt that autism is no longer taking a hold of your life! Would love to hear all happy stories and victories!
Not fully recovered yet either, but we have had significant gains since diagnosis and I believe we have decent trajectory/momentum.
While not comprehensive list of ASD issues, we started with ATEC… read more
