I wish I still had the list they gave me when they mentioned flags for Autism. I sat there reading it over and over. I finally got out two highlighter markers and started marking the list. When I was done I had more symptoms marked for 4-year-old Avery than I did for almost 3-year-old Miles. The next time I saw the developmental educator who came to see Miles I told her this and all she could say was "Well clearly Avery does not have Autism."
I think most to all of those things I had marked for Avery have since vanished. However then it made me that much more annoyed with what they were saying.
Again I wish I still had that list. I Googled for it and the list no longer looks the same and depending on what you are reading the signs and symptoms change. I wish I could remember all the things I marked for Avery and the few things I marked for Miles. Also I all the things that they said Miles did or didn't do and then he started doing... like eye contact.
