[QUOTE="kailey47, post: 524483, member: 14424"] Thanks everyone, I haven't considered Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) before, but not because I am not aware of it. Although the girls definitely have some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) traits, I don't think they really fit the spectrum. K is socially very good, she picks up on social cues better than most kids (better than alot of adults honestly), easily makes friends and fits into many different social groups easily. It sometimes takes her a bit to come out of her shell, but she always does. H is less apt at social cues, you've made me consider Aspergers possibly but I still don't really see it. I wouldn't say she is socially awkward (she is actually incredibly social) but has no concept of personal space, I have wondered if this is related to her lack of depth perception. I have quite a few friends with kids on the spectrum and have worked with a few people on the spectrum. So I understand Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) presents differently in every person. My understanding is the one common factor is social difficulty and the girls don't seem to have any trouble there. Having said all that I am open to getting it checked out, I would rather know the exact cause of the girls issues so I can deal with them more effectively. I have definitely looked into Gluten/Wheat Intolerance and believe it is a strong possibility, as I know it's more than dairy. I questioned it when the Giarda was found, but was told it wasn't cealiacs. I know you can have wheat or gluten intolerence without having cealiacs, so want to get them to look further into it. The pead that specialises in behaviourial issues actually said that he feels her digestive issues could be heavily contributing to her behaviours. He said to get that sorted first and see if the behaviours improve. Just got to convince someone that her intolerences are real. It's definitely given me something else to think about. Thankyou [/QUOTE]
