ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder ) Scenario – Tim is a 2-year, 5-month-old boy who is brought to your office by his parents for a followup visit. At his 18-month well-child visit, he was using three single words and would cry or scream when he wanted something. At his 2-year well-child visit, his mother reported that he appeared to be in “his own world.” He played repetitively on his own with his favourite toy train for most of the day. He didn’t seem interested in other children. She also reported some atypical behaviours. He walked back and forth in the family’s living room and stared at the ceiling fan for long periods.
a. What are some key developmental milestones and social skills for ages 2-3?
b. What are the strengths of this child and family?
c. What aspects of Tim’s behaviour may indicate a potential diagnosis of ASD?
d. What other areas would you want to assess and what questions might you ask Tim’s parents?
