Question

What symptoms could Ben be displaying that would make his parents believe that he may be suffering from Autism?

-Ben often sits for hours in extremely rigid positions; during these times, he seems to lose contact with the external world and does not respond to people who try to speak to him. At other times, he becomes extremely hyperactive and rambles on incoherently.

-None of these scenarios indicate that Ben is suffering from Autism.

-Ben started doing worse and worse in school. He stopped taking interest in the subjects he loved and stopped playing with the other kids in the neighborhood. He hardly spoke, but when he did talk to his parents he would tell them stories of people with funny names whom they had never met. Ben claimed that he played with them all the time, but they never saw Ben play with anyone.

-Ben was a very loving and cuddly boy. He had a high-pitched laugh when he would play. Sometimes though, Ben would become agitated. He would speak in a low voice and try to hit everyone. When his giggly self returned, his parents would ask him why he had been upset and he always said he never remembered being angry or hitting them.
