My younger child has complained intermittantly about stomach aches for years, once time was diagnosed as having gastritis, now was told IBS. Older child is dating someone with the same diagnosis but much more severe symptomology. Makes you wonder, since there is no family history for this as far as we know. @farmwifetwo: very interesting article.

The Dev Ped said that the daily diahhrea was Ok, b/c "some children with autism were like that"... Once the dairy was removed and once discussed with the Ped, I got told differently. See, there's this little thing called "family history" in our family.... I suspect the numbers are actually higher for autism because parents are looking for it. The teenager up the road from us has Crones and for years got told she had IBS... The teenager is home after major surgery a couple of weeks ago... Something that should have been dealt with as a child was ignored. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/more-kids-getting-inflammatory-bowel-disease-ontario-survey-finds/article1242737/ Makes you go mmmmmmmmm.... eh??

Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder. By definition alone all kids on the spectrum should have a delay in some area or another. Of course, by the time we are adults on the spectrum, what used to be simply social delays might be better conceptualized as social differences--we followed a different social developmental path rather than a delayed neurotypical path. But in terms of evaluation for services as children, there will always be a developmental delay of some sort, be it an obvious one (potty training or speaking) or a more amorphous sort (poor socialization skills).
