Answer 1

Every autistic person is different. He may have a very mild form, like me. I have autism and was only diagnosed last year when I was 20. When I was going through the diagnostic process my mother told me when I was a toddler I would show emotions, I had no language delay, I could walk before my 1st birthday, I smiled a lot, I did show affection and I understood people's emotions and I made eye contact. I was exactly like your son when I was his age. It really all depends how far on the scale someone is. And by the sounds of your son he has a very mild form.

Answer 2

There is a lot of variation on the autism spectrum. For now, take advantage of resources available to him as an autistic child. Later, when he is in school, have him re-evaluated. Being autistic does NOT mean he won't be able to be independent. As I said, there is a wide range of behaviors and abilities.

Answer 3

Autism comes in a variety of severities and symptoms, and some autistic people are very high-functioning while others are not. Your son may fall at the high-functioning end of the spectrum.



As time goes on, your son's issues may become clearer, or he may actually grow out of the behaviors that led professionals to diagnose him as autistic. In the meantime, you should take advantage of whatever services and assistance are available to you. They will almost certainly be helpful whatever the outcome of your son's issues.

Answer 4

Like Autism is a spectrum. People with Autism are not always picky eater. They can show affection. They can make eye contact. They have empathy. Autics can point they can run to their parents. They can listen. They can do all the things you listed.

Answer 5

Not every child with autism is the same. Your child could have very high functioning autism. It's really hard to say.

Answer 6

You don't say why he was diagnosed with autism you just list the reasons you want him not to be autistic, there are different levels of autism and if he does all you say he does then I would expect treatment would be helpful for him.

Answer 7

Autism doesn't mean your kid doesn't have emotions anymore. It might be worth reading up on it before you work yourself up
