No, not all people, but some. Lots of people express that they feel that Gabe and Deze are VERY high functioning. I really wish those people could experience my life for one day. Just one is all it would take to make it crystal clear that both these kids have autism. There has been question brought up lately as to weather Deze has autism or just ADHD. I am sick of being judged.
If you for one minute think that she is "simply" ADHD explain to me this. Explain the EXTREME need for sensory input. She bites herself daily, spins for HOURS on the swing, runs into walls over and over for the fell of it, does NOT chew on food so she chokes daily, stays up most the night and gets up in the middle of the night, is very far from potty trained or even starting to train, is hard to understand, does not have ANY concern for strangers, can literally break her own bones and not cry a tear. Eats things that are not food, including poop and toys....breaks toys, glass and drawing things (markers and crayons) just from pushing too hard for sensory input.
She runs infront of moving cars, would go home with anyone...and I have a very strong fear of someone taking advantage of her as she gets older.If she goes to a doctor she does not know, she bites them, or drops to the ground and hides under the chair. She has taken off from us in many stores. She has ran outside and stripped naked in the yard. She paints herself in mud or anything slimy every time she is allowed.
I often say that she would be awesome birth control to a teen. She does have autism, but we love her just the way she is....
To those out there doubting that she has ASD please understand that she copies people. If there are adults here to copy, she will do so and can appear normal for short periods of time.
