How did you know your son had autism?

 When it first came to our attention that there was an issue, I must have googled "Does my kid have autism?" or "How do I know if my child is autistic?" a gazillion times.  You can read the list of symptoms, signs, & red flags all day long, but until you actually SEE those things in play it is hard to tell. I finally found a video on YouTube that made me realize my son probably had autism. You can take that list of  signs and rationalize each one all day long. Obviously it is very difficult for a parent to accept that their child may have a disability. So, here is a video of Beckett that was taken on his 2nd birthday. You can see some head shaking, running in circles, & what appears to be him ignoring his daddy. I hope that this may help any parent out there that is concerned about their baby.
