I am worried my child is on the autism spectrum, I need to get her tested but I am afraid of the results.
How old is this girl? Why do you think she's on the spectrum?
She's 6 years old and she is having trouble with eye contact, she's overly passionate about things that don't concern her and she has no problem leaving her food out for 20 min
You should take you child to the doctor for the test to get her the help she may need. Many people live fulfilling lives on the spectrum and there is a lot of support you can get with a diagnosis.
This test is not going to determine where I go from here. It's not like going to the doctors will make the future better. If she is autistic her life will be harder.
That's not true. There are plenty of successful and famous people on the spectrum. We could Google them if you'd like?
