Hi Everyone, 5 year old, autism,aspergers, confused

Hey,

My name is Lisa Smile My 5 year old daughter recently visited the Doctor and the Doctor believes my daughter Skye has Autism, aspergers.  It will be 2 months till the assessment.  It never entered my mind that she may have autism, even though I asked some questions,  I don't think it hit me until I walked out the door. I was in complete shock and confused in what this means. 

My daughter has been visiting Physiotherapy for low muscle tone in her legs and hands. Speech & Language Therapy, her assessment result were that she has problems retaining information, problems with Language. Occupational Therapy, for low muscle tone, spacial awareness, difficulty with zips, she fine motor skill problems.  When occupational Therapy assessed Skye she was at lowest results. 

Skye is a child that is always in her imaginative world. She loves to be super heros but gets upset when she can't do what they superheros can do. She is a complete tomboy, loves cars.

She very active and her energy levels don't drop at night, Doctor gave Melatonin to help her drift of to sleep. 

I'm  new to this and I am not quite sure what to expect,  what's going to happen. 

Thanks and sorry for babbling on so much lol.

    The melatonin sounds as though it is really helping her get a good night's sleep. :-)

    if she has auditory problems then that will make everything difficult for her. It sounds that she has her share of issues.

    does she have issues with food, digestion, constipation or looseness?
