My son is 4 years & 4 months old. He was diagnosed with mild autism when he was 4 years old. He is not much verbal, he points out to give if he wants anything. He can sing rhymes, tell a to z & numbers from 1 to 20. He speaks few words but cannot say if he is hungry & he is not potty trained as well. He cannot follow or understand any instruction given. He is very stubborn & keeps on crying till his demands are fulfilled. There is no regular sleep pattern, stays awake at night almost & sleeps at daytime. We are not giving any occupational therapy as of now. We started giving him ayurvedic medicine since 3 months. There is no much difference seen in his behaviour.
