Patient discussion about infantile autism.

Q. can a child with autism have fibromyalgia? I really hope these pains are caused of something else cause that is just too much...

A. ok, we're safe...it aint fibromyalgia....that was real scary though, just a bit too much to handle...thanks for your help and may we all be healthy!

Q. How is the diagnosis of autism made? My friend has a child who is suspected to have autism. I wanted to find out more about making the diagnosis of autism.

A. Diagnosing autism is not an easy task, especially when there are several other conditions that might confuse the clinician with this disorder or spectrum of disorders. The child usually has several symptoms that suggest an autistic disorder, such as impaired social behavior. Several diagnostic instruments (tests) are available. Two are commonly used in autism research: the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) is a semistructured parent interview, and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) uses observation and interaction with the child. The Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) is used widely in clinical environments to assess severity of autism based on observation of children.
A pediatrician commonly performs a preliminary investigation by taking developmental history and physically examining the child.. If warranted, diagnosis and evaluations are conducted with help from ASD specialists, observing and assessing cognitive, communication, family, and other factors

Q. worried again about autism... I wrote the community some time ago about the baby who doesnt smile. he was 3 months old and just wouldnt smile, looked like he didnt even wanna be here. I thought all was ok cause he started smiling and grabing fingers at some point but he is 5.5 months old now and it seems he's a bit stuck at one stage and is still very slow and not very communicative. should I worry he has autism?? mught he have??
