Regression
My son who's almosy 5yo has more autistic traits now than he had when he was 2yo. He lines up toys now which he never did before, doesn't want to play with other kids because hs says they dont want to be his friends ( I noticed him today at the playground running away from kids whenever they approached him), he covers his ears when other kids scream around him ( he has never done this before, not with any loud noise). He eats more food now which is a huge positive thing and sleeps a bit better but in other areas like play and socialising, it seems that he has regressed. Is this typical of autistic kids? He's not diagnosed but we suspect level 1. I'm almost 100% he is autistic, his dad is in complete denial hence the lack of diagnosis. Thank you.
