Does my boy have autsim?

My 3yo boy has developed issues since 1yo...he runaway from hi sound like vacuum, drill, stereo at hi volume....etc

He doesn't want to be seperated from me...even he refuses to sit with his mother even at same sofa or bed...

Since 1yo we enrolled him in daycare but everytime I get closer to daycare gate he cries a lot....

He plays alone, but in house he want me to join him or at least try to grab my attention.....

Whenever I go out he cries......

The most important issue is this one:

He doesn't come close any kids......if we walk at mall or Park and saw a kid came toward us he hid behind my leg or turn his face to other side......he loves slide, swing but when he saw a kids came to play he ran to me....worse is when he saw a slide free he ran to play but ifhe saw a kid came to same slide he stops and return to me....I try to encourage him and many times I have to play with him....

The 2ND important thing is.... Chewing his blanket most the time....even when he watch TV he brought the blanket chew and watch....in bedtime he chew to sleep...and when I prevent him from chewing and he sleeps....at midnight he chew it unconsciously ( happening alot)

If he likes a friend of mine....he got possessed with him....he want to be with my friend all the time..... Even at night he asked about my friend where is he....

I traveled to work abroad (with my family)....been here 7 months but nothing change

What should I do???

Hello, Sado0og.



We aren't qualified to diagnose your son, as we are not medical professionals. We are, however, here to support you.

It sounds like a visit to the pediatrician to examine your son is needed. Have you done so?

Sincerely,

Rainy

Hello Sado0og: I'm sorry you are experiencing this difficulty with your son. As rainyday107 wrote, we cannot diagnose your son. I don't, of course, know where you live or what types of services are available to you. But what needs to happen here is for your son to be seen by a qualified child psychologist who can assess what is going on with your son & help to figure out what to do about it. One way to get started might be to first have him seen by a pediatrician or your family doctor. One other thing I can think of to suggest here is that there is an organization for children with disabilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota called "PACER". They have a website for which I am providing a link below. Perhaps they can be of some assistance. (At the bottom left of their homepage screen, in the blue strip, you'll see there is a phone number one can call to contact them.)

PACER Center - Assistance for Children with Disabilities, Bullying Prevention, Parent Workshops

Are there any possible environmental triggers? Vaccines are one controversial possibility. Another is exposure to wireless radiation and other EMF/RF sources in the form of Wifi, cell radiation, smart meters, smart appliances, etc. Or maybe dietary triggers? Gluten especially can break down the gut lining opening the door to systemic inflammation that can affect the brain. Just some thoughts about physical factors.

Or was there some emotional or mental or physical trauma?

Many kids go though a clingy and or avoidance of loud sounds but like the others suggest a vist to the kid doctor would help address your concerns. The vaccine therapy has been completely discredited so so worry about that.

DTAP Vaccine, given at age 2 months in the US, contains: "Aluminum potassium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, bovine extract, formaldehyde, gelatin, peptone, polysorbate 80, sodium phosphate, thimerosal (mercury)"

Just one example. Not trying to start a vaccine debate. In my opinion It's best to consider ALL toxic exposures.
