Q:
My son is eleven years old, is too late to find out if he has autism. does some of these behaviors mimic autism?
For years we have had to battle with my son being overly emotional. There are certain textures that he does not like. he is sensitive to certain sounds he cannot stand gum chewing or the smell. we have to explain social concepts to him. he likes to have small objects in his hand tossing them around. he cannot hold eye contact.it takes hours to calm him down.he does well academically . he have some social problems and argumentative with adults.I have worked with children with autism before some of his behaviors have always given me a concern.
