Are you aware if being diagnosed after your child is diagnosed is a somewhat common occurrence?
I am just wondering if I could get a diagnosis if my daughter does.
I think my 26 year old daughter is on the spectrum. She does not relate well with others and doesn't process language and body language well. I have watched the movie about Temple Grandin and can't help but see the similarities (It's ironic someone mentioned Dr. Grandin. About 5 years ago, I stood behind her and her husband as we were checking into a hotel in Austin, TX). My daughter was supposed to attend a seminar Dr. Grandin presented for dog trainers. However, she had a mental breakdown and my wife and I had to go get her from school.
My daughter is extremely intelligent, but it seems like she lives in her own little world.
Hi, @mamacita - You talked about using what you remember from childhood to help your little grandson diagnosed with autism. If you are comfortable sharing about this topic, wondering if you'd talk more about what you are doing to help him from recollections from your own childhood?
