Did Your Child Reach Her or His Gross Motor Milestones? Some parents note that their children had gross motor delays (Charlie did), while others said their child did not. Indeed, some parents whose children met all their gross and fine motor milestones then had other delays in social and communicative skills. About This “Autism Dilemma” According to health journalist Alison Rose Levy, there is an “autism dilemma” afoot, in which parents of autistic children speak emotionally and from the heart about what they think (a vaccine, for instance) “caused” their child to become autistic, while “aloof ...
