my friends son has been doing this weird thing. he is 4 and has been trembling first in his fingers and all the way up his arm when concentrating. the doctor said this may be autism. does anyone have any experience with this?
Hmm, could be. But, there also has to be other symptoms along with that to make a dx of autism. . . .speech delays, lack of eye contact, trouble with social interactions, and many many other things. It is a spectrum disorder, so not every autistic child is going to demonstrate the exact same set of symptoms. When you see one child with autism, you see one kid with autism. Get my drift?
I would reccomend he get evaluated by a developmental pediatrician or the school system (free for kids 3 years of age or older) if other symptoms of autism are present.
