My son sent your web site to me asking me to read artical about Autism, he feels he has Autisim. He is 26 years of age. Is it possible @ age 26, he can have Autism, as a child he never displayed symptoms, he was very active, had plenty of friends. He did experience several concussions during his football playing years.m
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! You should know that the first signs of autism begin at the age of three. Which means that it is quite impossible for your son to suffer from autism. In my opinion, your sons' problem could be related to anxiety or depression. Maybe he is going through a stressful situation. I recommend consulting with a psychiatrist for a careful exam and psychiatric evaluation. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing good health!
