The Autism Spectrum is a Behavioral Meme, Not a Mental Disability

in autism •  7 years ago 

Our personal journey into this world of autism began just over eight years ago with the birth of our son. The first thing we noticed was that he seemed very restless. He was always unsettled. He had a lack of recognition in his eye. He didn’t eat. He didn’t sleep. As each day passed, we recognized more ‘red flag’ characteristics of autism with repetitive behaviors, speech/sound delays and more. My heart out to everyone with autism spectrum disorder..!

children are designed to be restless.

He had a lack of recognition in his eye. He didn’t eat. He didn’t sleep.

if he got tired enough, he would sleep.

As each day passed, we recognized more ‘red flag’ characteristics of autism with repetitive behaviors, speech/sound delays and more.

at some point if an idea gets into the head of the parent then reassurance of a belief will make self-fulfilling prophecies seem more and more evident.

Exactly.
