MY FRIEND’S SON


by: CONCERNED AND FRUSTRATED on Wed, Jul 25 2007

My friend too, has a son, who will be 2 in September! The child does not speak (one or two repetitive words), walked at the age of 17 months…Throws tantrums where he will continually bang his head, with no pain effect…Does not interact with anyone..laughs inappropriately at everything….I want to broach this subject, however, it is her child and I am not a physician! I have seen autism before and this child acts autistic….I don’t want to hurt her feelings or have her become defensive..It is to the point, where no one wants to be around him..He destroys everything in his path..I am not describing an over active toddler..She has never been exposed to children before and has no point of reference. The child has not been exposed to other children…either…He needs to be evaluated…..
