I feel totally frazzled by my daughters behaviour, which seems to be getting worse. I've thought there was something a little different about her from the age of 2, but couldn't quite put my finger on it. Anyone out there with experience in Autism in girls, please could you have a read of my notes below and see if you can relate to any of this behaviour? Not sure where to go with this - hope she grows out of the behaviours, seek help etc.
Here are her little quirks:
Hi, It does sound like she could be autistic. It might be a good idea to ask your GP to refer her for diagnosis- you could even take the list you wrote here to the GP to help get referred. I think it is helpful to have a diagnosis in case she needs some support at some point for example at school and it is just good to know- I was diagnosed only recently at age 25 and I think it would have helped me a lot if I had known sooner why I was different. Your daughter sounds lovely- wishing you all the best!!
