Hi bumblebeedreams, Thanks so much for this information, I had absolutely no idea what the differences were, and now I know, there are no differences! My daughter at home is absolutely crazy, at school hardly talks and is mouse like however, take her to the doctors and she is classed as mute (I did laugh at that one!). How do you class that? As the mother in the article says, I love my daughter for who she is, not what I want her to be.
I do worry about 'outside' She sees five year olds outside playing on their own and larger groups of older children, but (Jane) cannot understand the boundaries, every day she goes a little further, but has also started taking my three year old with her! All she sees is me being horrible (and lots of other harsh words!) for not letting her play on her own, or walk to school, walk to the shop (cross the really busy road, that she forgot was there!). I will just keep plodding along, but anyone else confused should definately read the article posted - enlightening is an understatement.
