I am hoping you can offer some guidance. I am 98% sure my grandson is autistic… he is 28 months old and only has about 2 words…he will NOT respond to his name no matter how loud or many times you call him…he won’t look you in the eyes… certain foods he will not eat… macaroni and cheese, scramble eggs, as an example. I know that thrush was a re-occurring problem when she breast fed this child (this is her second) he has melt downs often and is really hard to manage (he gets violent – throws things kicks them around, throws him self down etc..) AT this time my daughter and her husband are not speaking to me because I am using the word “autistic” asking to please get him checked for this…. they keep telling me they are being told he doesn’t have the signs and he can’t be tested until he is 5…he is getting some speech therapy but only twice a month… I think she used diflucan, and the violet among some of the treatments… My grandson is CONSTANTLY sick with runny nose, cough, ear issues .. they treat with an inhaler or nebulizer as if he has asthma ..he has been tested for hearing – the hearing test results are he can hear just fine… I am so frustrated .. the other grandparents turned on me too even though they say they can’t manage him when they are alone…they are not elderly grandparents either … 50 to 60 yoa… anything you can provide I wish I could send you something that could help diagnose…all I have though is video
