is every non-social,mildly non-verbal child considered to be austistic?


Question:
my daughter is 3 years old,non-social and speaks only one word sentences ,doesn't know entity (i,you,he,...etc),and doesn't ask for what she wants....but otherwise doesn't show any of the signs of autism,...........is she autistic???

Answers:
though its posible ,its a bit early in her life to know this for sure .
some children are just slow to develop ,it also helps to encourage her to be more verbal . things such as make her say milk before you give her milk ,also the more time she spends with children of her own age the more her speach will develop .

try working with a speach therapist ,and be shure to talk to her as you would others ,she needs to hear words pronunced properly .
i would not rule out autisim but dont be to quick to make anny judgement either .
She could be, but I doubt it. Take her to a doctor, get her evaluated and possibly refered. If she is autistic, you're going to want to get her into a preschool for autistic kids to get her ready for kindergarten.
