Our 5 year old was diagnosed with autism at 4. He's now 5 almost 6. Suspicions he was at 2yrs. He's now in school and doing wonderful! The ASD coordinator at his school says his autism doesn't affect his schooling. He has speech Therapy and sees/plays with the ASD coordinator 2X a week. He's wonderful at school, at home he has huge meltdowns were it takes 20 or so kin to calm him down he throws things he tips over chairs head butts me in the stomach to get my attention when I'm talking to another adult etc.. My question is does anyone else have this going on? I give him full attention when he talks to me, cuddle him, love him fully, completely, Dad says he has Big Feelings. Which is true. He's super emotional, (cries alot)
