[QUOTE="buddy, post: 582191, member: 12886"] At age 5 she may not be able to analyze then formulate that kind of an answer. Often they relate or answer what is happening at the time of the question. OR they have learned, when askeda question, especially WHY? I need to answer SOMETHING so I will say anything. Digging to the root of an issue, just may be beyond her at this point. Especially if it is how she always has felt, she may not recognize things like sensory problems. To her that is normal. Some kids are really good at explaining, but some only can if it is pretty concrete (I want it NOW).... and some can't really remember what set them off. I had this amazing four year old one time. Her mom suspected Asperger's. SHe was developmentally on target except for more of a loner. She said to me one day when I asked if she wanted to come join us in an activity.... You know, just because I am alone does NOT mean I am lonely. LOL. I about died. She was absolutely right. Of course in the end it did turn out it also had something to do with her not really having the skills to get in there and participate along with some mild sensory things. [/QUOTE]
