Question

When did you first notice signs of autism in your child?

Answer 1

I knew from the moment my daughter was born that there was something different about her. As she got older I began to realise more and more that she was special. At about 18 months old she was really different and I knew she had an autistic spectrum disorder. She was diagnosed aged 6 with Asperger syndrome and other related conditions. Looking back it was all there right from the very beginning.
