Hey, I have an question to anyone of you who have deaf child with autism, or whoever have experiences or work with deaf autism. I've been so wonder if my daughter has autism?
I have had speak with her doctor, explaining to him and he said it'll be hard to tell because she is deaf but will refer my daughter to OSHU (Oregon State Hospital Unit), so now she is on waitlist, been waiting for 3 months, I am afraid if they have no experience with deaf autism. Anyway they will evaluation my daughter to see if she is autism.
but would like to hear from your opinions.
So here about her, she gonna be 3 in two weeks. I've been struggle with her for long time, she is very hard kid! She would just run across street all the times without look for cars, she don't understand what I was trying to say.. She ignored me, look down.
She hates many foods, won't try most of foods. She only eat very few foods, likes to eat some always same foods. I tried many different foods, she refused eat them.
She always throw temper tantrums all the times if not get her way. I never give up and get her way at all, for a year now, and she still throw temper tantrums. Throw things, try to damage things. I did put her timeout all the times for a year, nothing works. Also she hurts herself a lot, always bited her own arms or legs too hard, and slapped herself on her head a lot everyday..Sometimes when she don't have patience when I told her to wait, then she slapped her head.
She always flipping her hands and kicks while sitting in carseat, acting like a baby. She really hates to wear shoes that long. She took socks and shoes off everytime got in car, restaurant, store..she took them off and throw it. must be barefoot. I tried to put back on, she would scream and fighting with me, kicking.. It been like that for a year.
She don't really play with kids, she only playing with my son (her big brother) who is 3 years older than her. But she loves to kiss and hugs a lot with everybody.
She screams everyday for no reason, at stores and restaurant, any public..many people stared at us, or distract at her. They told me she is very LOUD voice, hurt their ears. I tried to stop my daughter for scream, she just don't understand.
She only know very few words, maybe at least 10-15 words. She walked late 14 months old, finally potty training last month almost 3 years old but not fully potty training yet, tho.
She don't make eyes contact with people or me when we tried to talk to her. She just ignored us, stared at something and frozen..or walking away. my friend talked to her, she turn around and walk away. my friend was like huh?..I said sorry, i have no idea why she dont want to look at u. lol I told daughter to look at friend, friend want to talk to her. She wont make eyes contact with me. look away from me too.
She slapped her big brother's head all the times for no reason. I told her, don't hurt him, she fast ignored me. And slapped more harder. I put her timeout. never stop.
I showed her which do she want, choose one of them. She just point at all at same time, or grab all same time. I was like no, pick one..this? or this? or that? She just don't understand, keep point all, want all same time. She don't know colors, I told her repeat..she still dont get it.
She doesn't communication much with us.
my son 6 years old, he is way different than her. He is fine, can communication, can understand me, knows ASL since he was baby, listens to me, never hurt himself or anything at all. He is just normal kid.
