Mom's Early Warning Signs for Lucas

Registered members

A mother of two boys with ASD talks about how no single skill like good eye contact or a seemingly engaged smile can rule out the presence of autism. She describes how her two affected sons were in some ways "totally different," but in others ways marked by similar symptoms, such as their inability to play with toys and a disinterest in other, unfamiliar children. She describes the notable progress made by her son since he began early intervention services.
