[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 208327, member: 1233"] Welcome snicklefritz! I LOVE your name. I really think you need an evaluation. You should ask the doctor for a referral to a developmental pediatrican or an autism specialist. I really think you are seeing some signs of high-functioning autism. If not, then something else is going on. But you are NOT over-reacting. The behaviors, wehn explained, may seem "typical" but you will have to stress that she takes them up 10 degrees to WAY above normal. It can be hard to get a doctor to understand. The outline is excellent. Also, you may have to be persistent. mention the problems at EVERY appointment, and make more appts so he can see that you mention them frequently. It took that to get help for my youngest - they kept telling me that "all" kids had the same problems. Follow your instincts with this. If they tell you it is not normal, then it isn't. You have 2 other kids, so you have some idea of what "normal" is. The instincts are there for a reason. So pay attention to them. [/QUOTE]
