Humorous View of How to Know Your Child Has ASD

I thought it would be fun to compound a list of ASD traits that we found in our children over the years. Please add to the list by commenting and I will post it.


1. Obsession with Thomas the Train.

2. Four years old and STILL not toilet trained.

3. Only eats a few different kinds of food. (Example: macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, pizza, and peanut butter and jelly)

4. You must prepare them for all novel situations and transitions in advance and tell them exactly where you are going and in what order or they will go ballistic.

5. Does “The Bird” dance while concentrating or when they are stressed.

6. When you say “It’s raining cats and dogs” they think they are actually falling from the sky and will look out the window for them.

7. Has royal tizzy fits when you give them a haircut.

8. Chrissy says: You know your child has ASD when you have to start a blog for your own 'therapy'. :-)
