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.

still 3 more weeks until my son goes in for is evaluation. And in the meantime I just keep questioning myself.
am i over reacting?
is he delayed because I dont do enough with him?
maybe his "symptoms" are just a stage?
some days he seems totally normal. am i imaging things. i start to doubt myself. then other days i want to cry because his behavior is so heartbreaking i know something isnt right. but then how come some days he is fine?
did anyone else go through this? or are going through it? my son is 19 months. when your kids were this age did you have concerns? did they seem perfectly fine one minute and completely not the next?
i just wish i knew what was going on. 3 more weeks. sorry for the novel.

I went through the exact same thing. It's so heart breaking and hard. Then after I got the dx I still had my days where I thought....the dr.'s could be wrong.
Sometimes I think the waiting and being in limbo is the hardest part though.
