So my best friend (and pretty much my only real close friend) has a two year old son. I've been observing this child for about that amount of time. I'm 90 percent certain the kid has autism. I've dealt with enough autistic kids in the ER to know. I even looked up autism screening tests done by pediatricians and did it on the kid, and the result was "high risk for autism." I did the same test on another child of similar age as a control test, and it was "low risk."
Anyways my friend seems totally oblivious to his son's problem. I think he is the type of person to deny anything is wrong until the last possible moment. I also fear he would kill the messenger. Being that he's my best friend I'd hate to be that messenger.
What would you do in this situation? Especially those of you who have kids (as I don't have any yet)...
Thanks.
