Autism Or Just Shy ?
Posted: 07-22-07 19:46pm

Now i know i wont get any replies to this but my brother was recently diagnosed with very mild autism, I know for a fact its only because hes shy around strangers and i mean who isnt?
What im saying is he is just shy around strangers but not his close family,

The doctor had a 10 min interview with him and came out with mild autism, he has to go back for a check up every 3 years , if he had it surley he wouldnt need a check up?

He is ok with me and his mates and always has a laugh,

What are your thoughts?

Autism Diagnosis Are Rampant
Posted: 07-22-07 23:11pm

Hi,

My daughter was diagnosed with mild autism by a child psychologist and my wife and I were devasted.

We later went to a group of psychologists that specialise in the diagnosis of autism and flat out told us the the first diagnosis was wrong.

the autism specialist told us that autism diagnosis are being done wrong by many so called specialists... so please dont be alarmed

hope this helps ....
