In all you read of Anika Speaks, it is not talking as a medical professional, or in any way inferring that your child is on the Autism Spectrum. There are common markers of the condition talked about and discussed, but that DOES NOT infer your child is on the spectrum.  ONLY when your child has been diagnosed are they officially on the spectrum. They take no responsibility for any misunderstanding. This an experiential site only and may give markers of autism, but no diagnostician is in any way represented unless directly written on that particular piece of work.  In the posts uploaded, any reference to autism can give you pointers of it but is not the full complement of autism factors in any way. Anika Speaks would like to wish you all every blessing and a greater understanding of what autism can mean, in order to help guide you to see some ways you can deal with different situations.  Thank you.
