Autism / Autism Spectrum Support Group
Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.
Okay. i wrote an entry before talking about my bf Kris. i am still with him, and i have to ask a really importent question.....
Just a little while ago i was with kris. and he fell asleep on my bed (aww) and then he started to twich and growl at me! :O and he snapped at me. he bit a hole in my shirt. but as soon as i got away from him, he started to shake. and then he called my name. and he sounded so sad. and so i went to him (how could i not?) and he hugged me really tight. like, boa contricter tight. that lasted for about five minites until he opened his eyes and asked me in a very small voice "what happened?" i told him i wasnt sure. and then, he started to cry. Kris doesnt cry...he can't. even when he was attacked by a dog and nearly died he didnt cry. at his uncles funeral, he couldnt cry. the pain he must have been in must have been so unbarible, he couldnt hold it in. Kris has severe Autism, and he is my world. but it was the scaryest thing in my life! i dont understand this.
so the question is, was what happened because of his autism? or is there something else? please help me. i am so lost in this. i love him so much, and i dont want him to go through this alone. but im 16. and i dont know what to do

i'm so sorry hun but that doesn't sound like autism. I would talk to his parents about what you saw but i think a doctor evaluation would be in order.

he asked me not to tell his mom and stepdad. but thank you for answering

I think it might be a good idea for him to see a psychiatrist or psychologist about it? sounds like a flashback from a traumatic event?

I agree with Girleskills. Sound like something happened. he needs to get help.

I agree, with all. Have to wonder if it has happened before and that is why he doesn't want you telling his mom.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
