Have come across a child that started behaviour consistent with autism at 18 months old and is now 2. I am no expert but a friend at home had an autistic chiild so I am aware of the warning signs. In particular the chils staerted trying to speak and then stopped. It could just be late development but I would like to get him assessed.
I can only find Haggar online, but I am really looking for a doctor to check him out before jumping to conclusions.

I am sure there are a few posters here that would likely know a lot about Autism from personal experience. Hope they can help you.

Respect.

A ‘living symbol of resilience’

As a child, Dr Ka Sunbaunat noticed that his parents – who had been exposed to fighting between French, Japanese and Thai forces during World War II – sometimes behaved oddly. His mother often talked in paranoid whispers. And his father, a teacher and generally a calm and pleasant man, lashed out in anger in times of stress.

The desire to understand his parents’ mental health problems put Sunbaunat on the road to becoming a psychiatrist. Later, seeing the damage wrought on the nation by the Khmer Rouge drove him to devote his life to creating a mental health care system in Cambodia.

This coming week, at the 16th Congress of the World Psychiatric Association in Madrid, he will receive the Geneva Prize for Human Rights in Psychiatry, which comes with an award of $21,427.

“[Sunbaunat] is now regarded as the father of Cambodian psychiatry and, from his work with the mentally ill, as a ‘living symbol of resilience’,” reads a statement from the foundation.

There were two psychiatrists practising in Cambodia before 1975, but both were killed by the Khmer Rouge and the only psychiatric hospital was closed. Today, there are more than 46 locally trained psychiatrists and a number public and private psychiatric clinics.

That’s still grossly inadequate for a country of about 15 million people, where an estimated 27 per cent show symptoms of acute anxiety, 16.7 per cent suffer from depression and 2.7 per cent have post traumatic stress disorder.

On average, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries have about 154 psychiatrists per one million of population, while Cambodia has three psychiatrists for every million.

But the fact there are any at all is largely thanks to Sunbaunat.

You know, it's normal for kids raised in bi or multilingual households to be quiet as fuck until age of 3 or more.

yesthanks. too much language input. My only concern is he started to sepak and then stopped, and as there is very little provision in Cambodia for autism I would like to find somewhere can check him out if things do not improve shortly as it could take some arranging
