I'm glad I found you! I'm here to discuss my 9 year old son Darren who was diagnosed at 3 with high functioning autism. I also have 2 other children - my 6 year old son who was diagnosed with ADHD, and a nearly 3 year old daughter who is "normal". (What is normal anyways? LOL)
The autistic spectrum disorders run in my family, although surprisingly we didn't know it until my son's diagnosis. At that point we had some answers to my brother's situation (he had been diagnosed as severe ADHD but we always knew that there was "something" else there). So in my case it's more than likely a genetic thing vs vaccines or what have you. (Although I believe strongly that these things do cause these disorders in some cases.)
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and sharing/seeking advice. I posted a question on the "behavior" forum if you could please read and help if you can!
