1) the doctor at Jurong Medical Centre-Child Development Unit told me that if one child is ASD, then the sequent one(s) will have 18% chance of being ASD too, and even higher if the next one is a boy. I've a 5yo boy, gave birth early 30s. I've heard alot that having a siblings for ASD kid is helpful but both my hb and I are worried. We are not optimistic with the 82% though..

did you ask him ... how he derive at the figure, 18 % ?

I didn't ask where she got the statistics cos was upset to hear that then. I've read somewhere from internet it also stated 1 in 5 chances which comes up to 20%. Actually I really wanted another one but no courage.

So many of my older friends were so worried for nothing when they got the DS blood results back.

If I'm not wrong, this PCF is under DSP, just launched not too long ago. I've called CEL to chk before, quite a few of those under DSP are around hougang punggol areas.

Is he a good eater? Does he eat a wide range of foods? Does he eat meat? There is no single vitamin or supplement that can do wonders. The important thing is that he is eating a good balanced diet. The other thing that builds strength is exercise, so give him plenty of time to walk, run around, use playground equipment etc. If he has particularly weak areas, then you can practise those more. My daughter has very poor coordination and balance, so we had to do a lot of practice on different things over the years - climbing stairs, walking straight lines, jumping, hopping etc. She was 7yo before she could go down stairs without holding the banisters!
