then wake up one morning with total lost

there should be signs that a child is
autistic. What exactly happened?

Well nothing. I have a one year old. And I
hear some much stuff I don't know what to
believe. I have heard stories where
someone says their kid was fine one
morning and wakes up one morning and
reverts backwards. I was just curious if
anyone has actually had this happen.
Thanks

well I wouldnt worry about him/her unless
there is someting obviously amiss. this
does effect every one differently. if they
wake up one morning and revert backward id
take him in. it could be something other
than autism. Ive never heard of this

No- developmental disorders are present
from birth and though there may be a
definitive point where a parent thinks
"something is wrong," it was always
there.
If a child is different one day like you
described, that sounds more like some kind
of psychological trauma, not a
developmental disorder.

Like Tmddyan said, it is not autism, it
may be something else. My brother is
autistic and although it does affect
everyone differently, it is unheard of for
a kid to be fine one day and wake up the
next morning with a loss of all of his
skills. It is my younger brother who is
autistic, and I remember him never acting
like a regular kid when he was a baby.
First of all, he never played, ever.
Secondly, if you have a younger brother
then you know that kids really like toys
when they are young. Instead of toys, my
younger brother, Jack, liked to play with
pieces of other things. He carried around
a piece of a wooden duck, and that was
what he liked and wanted. Anyway though,
in answer to your question, my brother is
autistic, and so I know a lot of parents
of autistic people. No story has ever
been mentioned about a kid waking up one
day and being autistic. That is unheard
if, and, I would say impossible, but I am
not a neurologist so I don't know. But
what I do know is that like Georgia59
said, most developmental disorders are
there from birth.
