Secondhand Autism by Paul Brodie, eBook 2013; with < My Thoughts > by Sara Luker

(15% indicates the eReader book location, instead of page reference numbers).

15%     Autism in my family – Scott was just about 3 years old when my parents first took him to a doctor with questions about his development.  He was on track for the standard age-graded stages of development – crawling, walking, and talking, etc. – until he seemed to regress, starting between 18 and 24 months.  Scott is the fourth of my parents’ six children: Laura, me (Paul), John, Scott, Alison, and Shannon.  Alison was born around the time when Scott’s abnormal behavior started making my parents worry.
 
23%     Scott could not be autistic on his own. Our family has all been autistic with him. Initially Scott’s change in development was thought to be a reaction to my sister Alison’s birth.
​
77%     Paul (Me, 31 years)  I was six and a half when Scott was born, which made me nine when he was diagnosed with PDD-NOS. I remember getting picked up from elementary school by my dad one afternoon. He told us about Scott’s diagnosis.  That is all I recall from the moment, just a few frames in my mind. I don’t know if that was for the PDD-NOS diagnosis or for autism two years later.
