Worried about 2yo daughter

liamw879

Hi I'm new here after finding this website on google.

My daughter is 2 years old and I'm not with her mother anymore. She had meningitis at 3 months old. So she has had every follow up check from hearing to speech since that time.

I didn't see my daughter for nearly 2 years afterwards. So I'm just getting used to seeing her more again on my own. Basically my concern is that she has autism and that I'm the only person to have recognised this!

I wrote a list of the things that I have noticein every time that I see her ranging from no eye contact to repeating the same nursery rhymes over and over.

I feel that I'm in a bad situation because her mother and me don't really get along and she never tells me anything. So does anybody know a way to go about it without arguments about how I'm wrong When really I'm very concerned and know it needs to be tackled early! 

Thanks x

  • Hi again - sorry, but I don't know what to advise, apart from keeping up + hopefully improving your relationship with your daughter's mother.  I don't know if your Dr is also your child's dr.  A lot of GPs don't know much at all about autism anyway.  If her mother has custody then decisions would be up to her, I wd presume.  If your daughter goes to nursery they may pick up on any behavioural issues as time goes by + alert her mother.
