Q. My friend’s son is showing the signs of autism? my friend’s son is showing the signs of autism. I went to his house as his grand mom was ill. His son behaved very differently which irritated everyone at home. He was constantly disturbing every one. He was disturbing grandma after very many advises. I doubted him to be autistic but his family members behaved with him very badly that his mom beaten him up with big stick to calm him down. I was shocked with her behavior but was helpless at that time. To my knowledge he showed clear symptoms of autism as he cannot communicate well and cannot follow the instructions. He lacks eye contact too. He is 10 years. Is my assumption correct?

A. it doesn't matter if you are right or not. this kid is not supposed to get bit up with a stick. no child should. it's even horrifying to hear about it. what you should do is call "child wale fair" and report of that incident.

My friends father drinks everyday very heavily and that he is showing clear signs of an alcoholic. He becomes unconscious and doesn’t care to answer his mobile calls even.

A. sometimes there are things that leads to being an alcoholic...depression can be defiantly one of them. an untreated ADHD can eventually cause addictive behavior. do you think he suffers from any of them?
anyway it sounds like a bad situation that calls for intervention...

Q. I have noticed that my friend’s child shows some signs of ADHD. Hello, I have noticed that my friend’s child shows some signs of ADHD as he is unable to follow the instructions as other children of his age can and I have noticed that he is forgetful. When we ask him to bring something he picks up wrong objects in hurry. Initially I did not notice but now I do as I meet him regularly, I feel that he seems like an ADHD. Is it ADHD?

A. If any possible reasons for his behavior are known like his own interest in these or fault in parental care and teaching, then his possibility of being an ADHD is decreased. But for confirmation a doctor is the right person. These signs can be related to any other mental disorder as well. This can also be related to any substance abuse as well.
