My Son has a reasonably rare condition called ftal anti convulsant syndrome. It is caused by the anti epileptic drugs I have to take not being blocked enough by the placenta during gestation.
Although a lot of the symptoms of FACS are unknown it has been linked to the autistic spectre and is the closest thing we have to assess him on
At the moment the only signs he displays is:
Lack of eye contact, fear of socialisation, delayed speech, totla unawareness of others around him, huge personal space that he does not liked breached, obsessive behaviour, dislike of human touch and self harming during tantrums
We have recently brought him a puppy and the difference in him is amazing, would definitly recommend a pet for children in a similar situation
All his hiccups aside, my son is an amazing little boy with a lot to give. My sister describes him as living in his own bubble totally unaware of the world or people around him. Though with a lot of perserverance he will eventually let you into his bubble and you get to reap the benefits until he kicks you out again lol
Don't really know ayone else in same situation so if anyone is would be lovely to hear from you
