My experience learning about autism

Global Advances in Health and Medicine : Improving Healthcare Outcomes Worldwide
Daniel A Rossignol

Abstract

I remember the first time I heard the word "autistic." I was 10 years old, and my mom mentioned that someone had a child who was autistic. I was confused because I mistook her description as "artistic." In April 2001, our first child, Isaiah, was born. My wife, Lanier, was concerned that he had autism at about 11 months of age, but I did not recognize his obvious problems, even though he was not responding to his name, was obsessed with spinning objects, and did not play with toys appropriately. He also had no language, did not walk until 18 months, and had significant gastrointestinal (GI) problems including severe reflux requiring medication and chronic diarrhea. At 19 months of age, Isaiah was diagnosed with autistic disorder.
