My son is on the spectrum. He has high anxiety and school stresses him out a lot. He has night terrors and sleep walks. I pray when the day comes he finally sleeps through the night without an episode. As a parent, it hurts to watch your child suffer. He's my beautiful miracle and I am grateful for being his mama 😌
DSDA
Many autistic people are resistant to touch or prefer ritual touch. One autistic man I knew would greet people he knew with a quick hug of less than a second. He always insisted on having his hair cut in a buzz cut. If he trusted you, you were allowed to stroke his hair.

Daedalus, Absolutely! Let's not equate a Google search with a medical degree and experience.

ezasjel, my grandson is on the autism spectrum, but it would not be noticed by most people - - they may think he behaves badly, though! The 1 in 59 includes these cases of autism, too, not just severe, hard-to-function in society cases.

Player #5515970, I know I have it. I am in my mid forties but was only recently diagnosed with autism. Harder to diagnose women anyway though.

Girls are underdiagnosed with autism as they mask and don't present the same way as autistic boys do. The saying "when you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person" sums it up. Autism and ADHD frequently occur together too.

My son is on the spectrum, it annoys me when people say to me "he doesnt look autistic". Like everyone with ASD has some sort of defining feature.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's in 2007. Honestly, this really helped explain a lot about my whole life.

Player #9043571, my second son is also autistic and attended special school. He has just completed his first term at university studying computer science and I couldn't be prouder!

My youngest child has autism. As a toddler, he loved letters; his favorite was "w". We had tons of letters of all sizes and colors all over the house. By the time he was 18 months old, he knew all of his letters, shapes, colors, and numbers. When he was 2, I discovered he could read. It's amazing how minds work.

Player #18449987, Snap. I am exactly the same. I was only diagnosed in March last year and I'm 45

My 11 year old has Aspergers too on the acute end of almost being normal, but he’s very normal for us too very smart, considerate and he reminds me of Sheldon on Big Bang Theory, also monetary issues are a non issue, not social at all but the purest heart

My 21 yr old daughter is on the spectrum but its made far more complicated by the various long term co-morbidities that may and can attach themselves to the ASD ..she will be with me always ..very little education..incredibly gifted artistically and has the purest of souls..we save each other every day
Player #5515970

This one bothers me somewhat. My first thought was that the question describes some aspect of all the answer choices. Upon reflection, it came to me that maybe my perception of the possible answers is flawed. I'll accept "autism" as the correct answer, but with some doubts.

Daedalus
Autism and Dementia are not similar or equable. Symptoms may present in different fashion. If all disease and harm suffered presents in "similar" and "familiar" fashion, it should follow that one need never consult or be treated by a health professional. Simply research any symptoms on the internet and then treat same with confidence.
