The Dr thinks my child has autism...
Ok to start with I dont need no negative comments I've dealt with them for other a year now and Don't want to deal with them on here.
My daughter will be 3 in Sept. And she's been behind most her life.
I started noticing after she turned one. All she wanted to eat was baby food til she was 16/17 months. She didn't say any words, didn't walk etc. So i started paying attention more on her development. I thought maybe its just taking her longer. Shortly after she turned 1 I started noticing when she got around crowds, in stores, church that she would freak out wherever their was tons of people she would scream and have a break down until she was taken to another room where she was alone then she was completely fine she only did this around crowds or if she went to a new place/church (Side note, my kids ain't brats they dont have tandrums for no reason) after 2 and still no words, hardly any sounds, no momma, daddy, hey, bye nothing. I got her seen by her dr who is conserned she's got some form of autism. We put her in therapy to try to help with speech and we still have no words. She will sometimes let a word out but we'll never hear it again. For the most part she just mumbles and make weird noises like she wants to talk but she cant figure out how, which just turns into her screaming from frustration. My brother has Asperger's and I see the same signs in her that he had. She cant stand for a door to be open, she will stop whatever shes doing to shut all the doors in the house, she eats food then spits it out over and over. She just sits in the hallway and bangs her head. She will be playing and just randonly bang her head on the floor counters. Whatever she can find.
I honestly Don't know whats going on with her. I'm trying everything I know how to help her. Help her learn and grow, help her when she has her breakdowns, or gets frustrated. But everybody tells me theres nothing wrong with her. That I'm just crazy!
Has anybody dealt with their kids doing anything like this. She's so smart and sweet. And I just want whats best for her. My heart is aching cause I know she wants to tell me whats wrong, or what's on her mind but nothing no matter what we try she takes one step closer and 5 steps back! I had her tested for autism back in July 2018 and they said she doesn't have it, but shes only gotten worse, they tested her on a good day (she was happy) and didnt see anything ive been dealing with on a daily basis. The drs still think she has some form of it. And as her mother I really think somethings not right. There has to be a reason she's so behind and has these symptoms. I don't know what to do...
This is my daughter Karoline.
