The begining signs with elijah

Its hard to say when i first noticed something was different. Elijah is very normal to me. He is so normal in fact, in many different areas, as any little boy would be. When i look back at things now, better educated about autism i can say, ahhhh that's why he did that etc.But allot of early signs can just be nuances or quirks.  I think my first "different" or memorable times i can think back on goes to when he was 6 months old. I remember Elijah refused to wear bibs, he would get all weird about having them around his neck. He would tear them off every single time. Don't seem significant, but to this day Elijah hates things going around his head. I now know children with autism, not all of them but a good number, have sensory integration issues. which basically means their 5 senses that we all use are in over drive or in some cases under drive. Elijah hates being changed. You may say, any kid does..but this is to the extreme. If you would like to experience this, come get Elijah dressed for church on a Sunday morning. There is allot of screaming crying kicking biting hitting punching going on. allot of fun lol. It normally takes over and hour to calm him back down. Another way Elijah is sensory sensitive, he actually under reacts to pain, he can get hurt really really bad and it doesn't phase him. He also sometimes has a hard time with sound and touch but i haven't been able to figure out his triggers for that yet. He also hates taking medicine orally. not fun.
I also remember he would obsess over outlet covers. he had to pull them out. another thing that doesn't seem so unusual but he was obsessed, one time i spent over 4hrs teaching him not to touch and he still didn't get it. Of course i now know autistic children do not get social clues, discipline is very hard to reinforce when a child doesn't get language or emotion.
another thing that stands out is how adamant he hated cameras, another common problem with autistic children. I will let you in on a little secret. I got into photography because of my sweet boy. I could no longer take him to professionals because of his extreme opposition to being photographed. So i stepped up to the plate. I would not let my little boys life go unrecorded. It is still very difficult to get a picture of him, but he is improving in this area.
I remember Elijah as being such an easy sweet baby he rarely asked for anything. He was undemanding and easy gong. He was way ahead in all the physical milestones,  sat at 3 months  old, crawled in his 5th month walking by 9 months etc...he even spoke his first word on time according to developmental mile stones. 
its funny looking back how things make sense now...but those would be the earliest signs i had of Elijah up to 9 months old. I cant say any thing was exactly earth shattering. That was just the way he was.
