Autism in toddlers

Yes, it’s possible. With Autistic children, most of their attention is given to colors, numbers, their favorite toys, etc. While it may be upsetting for you not to hear him call you Mommy or Mama yet, it will come in time.

social difficulties is something most children with autism have. It’s just the way their brains are set (and yes, colors, patterns, numbers are usually more welcome than parental contact, sometimes human contact can become suffocating, imagine being held constantly by someone, wouldnt you just want them to get away after a bit? well they can get overstimulated really easily, their tolerance levels are just lower…). Dont take it personally. I know it can be painful, but maybe if you saw him as just communicating differently… the way he expresses himself is just different that’s all… you should talk to a psychologist, they’d be able to explain the technical parts of it a lot better… and the earlier you see one the better it is…

Thank you guys for your comforting advice. They’re very helpful. =)

yes, they can be. Especially if they have aspergers syndrome. They don’t like social activity, just solitary amusement
