My daughter was a healthy and happy child, reached all milestones until 1 year of age. Then slowly at 15 months of age she started having fevers very often. She started having staring spells, lost the couple of words she had, lost her eye contact with us, she would wake up at 2 am and stay awake for 3 hours before going back to sleep again, had horrible constipation. My daughter was diagnosed with Autism at 2.8 years of age. I was lost and did not know how to help my child. I am fortunate to have found many parent groups, forums and professionals who have helped us in this journey.
