I have a situation where I am convinced he boy I have - 3 years is on the autism spectrum but have tried everythign to convince his parents of issues without coming out and saying get him tested for autism please since I am not in a position to diagnose just believe to myself. Luckily I have some stuff from my teaching days on how to deal with some of the issues and for him it is more the sensory angle of things so just knowing when to back off and when to force him is working but he will start school in Sept and he should have been receiving help before school not after the fact when critical periods will have been missed. I only have him 2 days a week. The rest of the time he is one on one with an adult at home or grandma which is part of the reason they don't see that he can not interact with other children - not won't interact can't big difference.
