How reliable is a pediatrician to diagnose autism?
I have a 21 month old son whose pediatrician states he is positive he is autistic. I can see why he would think that, once he started pointing out his concerns, he even said his daughter is autistic, that's why it's so easy for him to see the signs before most people would. We were referred to an early intervention specialist for a formal diagnosis he says he isn't a specialist so he can't make anything official . However, they're supposed to call us to set an apt, and that hasn't happened yet. Are pediatricians normally pretty accurate when it comes to diagnosing autism? I just find it odd that we have to go to a specialist bc he doesn't have the authority to make anything official.I'll make a list of some things my son does as well. no eye contact if you sit him in your lap and try to get him to look at you, he will try squirming away, look everywhere else, never at your face for more than a second or so if your lucky only knows maybe 5 8 words mama, dada, uh oh, hey, hi, hello WILL NOT interact with other children under any circumstances Will chew or be destructive with his toys, once in awhile will play appropriately violent to himself and others when upset, consists of throwing himself on the floor and thrashing around,banging his head pretty hard against things, if you try picking him up, your gonna get headbutted, bit, slapped, clawed at he gets upset so easily, as simple as a commercial coming on tv and interrupting a show will send him on a rampage thank goodness these don't happen that often. We resulted to movies Any loud noise will freak him out and he will slap his ears and scream, and then its hard to calm him down afterward He will cuddle only me, wont have anything else to do with anyone. Seems in his own world...allot. 1st thing the dr ever noticed, wont even acknowledge a light being shown in his face.I understand that the signs are obviously there, and I've come to terms with this. However, some days we can go a whole day with no problems. Every once in awhile he'll make eye contact with me for longer than a couple of seconds, he'll seem interested in things.I'm trying to be hopeful, but have come to terms with what most likely is. And I've brought this up to his doctor and he said that its good we have moments like that, but when he only has a " good moment" as opposed to him just having a " bad day" then I need to prepare myself and my family for the time and changes that will need to be made. I don't know. I think I already know, and I'm just trying to find a way to cope with it as I wait for our apt with a counselor.
I've recently found that I talk to myself sometimes. Does this mean I'm somewhere on the autism spectrum?
When I'm on my own I found myself thinking about conversations I might have had or ones that I could have in the future. But sometimes I realise that my half of the conversation I am saying aloud or am imitating the body language and facial expressions I'd have as I was in the conversation. This happens quite often now, and has been since at least 6 months ago. I've seen children with autism doing the same, not realising theyre talking to themselves as they pace up and down. Could this be a sign that I am slightly autistic or is it too vague a symptom to pinpoint to anything. For all I know, it could just be me feeling subliminally lonely, or something.
Can autism be undiagnosed until adulthood? ?
I read a poem about what its like to be an autistic child recently. One of the verses describes being unable to engage properly in sports, cant catch, cant run. Another describes oversensitivity to stimuli, smells, sounds. Another describes inability to tolerate uncomfortable clothes. Inability to understand whats going on in conversations, missing the unspoken cues, always being " weird" the odd one out. Cant quite get with the programme. Well, that's all me. I'm 37. Could I be very slightly autistic? I put too much importance on rules, I'm extremely introverted, I dont really live in the real world. If I might be, what should I do?
My autism keeps getting worse?
my last question said I needed a psychologist but my dad said he can help me. that won't help because he's hasn't help me at all and my brother keeps acting rude to me, so this might shock you but I yelled at my brother, threw stuff at him, and made him not talk to me anymore. I need to calm down but I can't stop. People are worried about me and my dad still acts the same. treats me like crap. not my fault I'm autistic. I wish I can get the right people but I'm poor and can't control my anger. I cry at night because I feel like beating someone up and I want to control it. I'm even avoiding people including people who are good friends. I used sit in the corner and the only person that I talk to is myself and this girl name sam because she see's me being depressed all the time and she's going through the same thing excpt she doesn't have it bad now. now Its just myself I avoid people. please helps me and hope I don't get abuse on this

I'll be into poetry one month and the next will be something opposite as if I have a personality disorder, I'm extremely self aware as far as my mental state is however even in a good mood people think I'm being rude or disrespectful and I don't see it.... I've heard of this form of autism but idk much about it. Answers?
Vaccines causing autism?
I know there has been controversy over whether the vaccines for illnesses have contributed to an increase in the prevalence of autism but is this controversy old news? Or is it still debated today?momma bear that's not exactly the kind of answer I'm looking for.I was considering writing my 4,000 word essay for school on this topic but if it's old news, already settled, I don't really want to even bother. If it is a thing of the past, can someone perhaps suggest other ideas for my essay? Specifically, any controversial topics in the field of psychology not related to its practice?

Is it possible that I have had mild autism my whole life?
I seem to fit the profile and have many of the symptoms, but was never diagnosed with autism as a youth. Is it possible that I have been living with mild autism my whole life and just never known? It would explain a lot.I will elaborate. I have troubles communicating most of the time. Rarely am I able to say exactly what I want to say. Usually the words are chosen very elegantly in my mind, but more often than not it's something awkward that comes out. I get nervous and frustrated in conversation. I also stutter and repeat words sometimes. I find when I am comfortable is when I can communicate best. In those moments I am quite witty, and a strong conversationalist. They are rare though once when I was in Mexico and another time here at home with friends both stand out, among hazy memories as a kid.I know I'm not retarded I'm actually really intelligent. I was top of my class in math and physics, among other subjects, until homework was heavier weighed in grade 10. Before that the grade was based mostly on tests, which I could do without studying. More than once I have had to negotiate with teachers to let me turn in assignments after the fact, some of which I still never bothered to fi

I'm on the edge of hurting my bullies who make fun of my autism. what should i Do?
Should I be concerned about Autism or Aspergers Syndrome?
I do not make eye contact with people, I am often seen as " spacey" , and I really hate physical contact of any kind. Hugs don't make me feel in pain, but I just hate being hugged or held or even touched. When I have an emotional breakdown, I usually take something like a textbook and bash it into my head repeatedly or I headbutt my wall or door until I calm down. I also rip out chunks of hair when upset. Sometimes I cut, but I have gotten much better over time. Also, when I bash my head, I often do not feel much pain, and compared to other people or at least compared to high school students , I feel much less pain.It is difficult for me to empathise with other people, and I have trouble making and keeping friends. I often have concentration issues, unless I am doing something having to do with one of my " special interests" . I have a very hard time distinguishing faces, so I don't know most of the names of the people in my classes. I hate small talk and try to end it as quickly as possible by being boring when people start it up. I like things that others may see as childish. Loud noises that are not my music make me freak out. I am also sensitive to the sound of people chewing and swallowing and I cringe when I can hear someone near me eating or chewing.I am very introverted. When I get invited to a party, I make an excuse not to go, unless the party is small 5 people and everyone there is someone that I know relatively well. I have never been to any school dance and am not going to my prom which is in a few weeks I am a senior in high school .I am going on to college in September, and it is a rather good university. Would I get kicked out if they find out I am Autistic or an aspie?Obviously, y a is no place for someone to judge whether or not they have Autism or AS, but I was wondering if I should go see some sort of doctor? I am 18 years old, though, and have not been diagnosed with any mental things before though my current doctor told me she was worried about depression . My parents probably would not want me to see a mental health doctor, though, because they want to believe that I am neurotypical. I have taken a couple autism quizzes and they both told me that there is a high chance that I have Aspergers, and some people most of them aspies told me I should probably see a doctor, but I... just want one last opinion or something, I guess. What would be the benefit s of getting tested?I also cannot stay physically balanced standing on one leg is nearly impossible for me and I cannot cut anything in a straight line. Recently, I also noticed that I tilt my head one way or another usually to the left .
