Autism Spectrum Disorder

Hello there!

My 2.8 year old son is diagnosed with ASD last month. It could have been done earlier, may be 3-4 months back. May be we were just postponing or dreading that ordeal. 

Anyways, it is official. DS is developmentally delayed, not speaking any words right now( except for sometimes saying aai - that's mother in my language. I'm born and brought up in India btw - currently in Los Angeles,CA). He is also exceptionally hyperactive. I get tired just watching him run the whole day. Where does he get all this energy from? He doesn't eat a lot! huh. I should write a different post just about his eating (or not eating) and his love for expensive pediasure! :) He hardly points to the things of his interests or things that he needs. His eye contact is really not good with strange people. With us, it is little better. He loves to cuddle, giving a tight big hugs (that almost chokes you! ;) ) or giving kisses, just lying down and having fun! He is one adorable kid. He is also the most intelligent kid I have seen! He knows his letter(big/small), numbers(1-10), colors and shapes - since really long! I guess since he was 15 months old! I have a feeling that he can read! He would see letter n-o-s-e written on paper/computer screen and he would instantly point to his nose. Well not every time. but he does do that more often. He can show his nose,head,hands,knees,eyes,ears,teeth,tongue,bellybutton by reading those words. I think this is incredible! I guess, watching "your baby can read" really was worthy. 
I am really proud that he can do that. But what I really want from him is "Mommy, I want milk" or "Mommy, I love you!" :) I desperately want him to talk. 

We started with his Speech therapy and Occupational therapy this month. He likes those sessions! And I guess he is on track. Behavior therapy is not yet started. God know why its taking so longer! I am so anxious to start with all that I can do for him and get him out of this label. 
Let see what is in for our store. But for now, I guess I should go to sleep. Tomorrow morning 8 is Speech therapy. Have to leave house at 7.15 to face the infamous Los Angeles traffic. 

So, that's it. The first blog post on Autismic! 
Will see you soon! Have a great time everyone!

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
