[QUOTE="SRL, post: 431613, member: 701"] It sounds like a really good start in that she listened, asked questions, and was picking up things during her observation time. I think of kids who have Autistic traits but don't meet the clinical criteria for Autistic Spectrum Disorder as being "spectrumish". Often they'll have some--but not all--of the traits and/or else they're present in milder form or some trait that is associated with classic Autism (such as lack of affection or eye contact) is absent altogether. For this reason they often slip under the radar or are misdiagnosed (and often mismedicated). If that's really what's going on, then you will be very fortunate to have found someone who recognized it at this early age. [/QUOTE]
