[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 549175"] Justfour, I am also a single mom of two kids though mine are twin boys and I've known for some time that difficult child 1 was on the spectrum but it wasn't until puberty and things got worse with difficult child 2 that the thought even crossed my mind. You're doing just fine and it usually does take an "outsider" to see what's right in front of your face. difficult child 1 has "recycling" obsessions. He vascillates between fishing, horses, soccer, working with wood, and video games. Each of them go in spurts but those are his TRUE obsessions. Do you have a good relationship with the GP? Enough that you can say something like "she's starting to act somewhat like her sister and I know research shows that if you have one child with Autism, there's a greater risk for siblings to also have some form of it. Please refer us to ___________________ so we can find out for sure?" Here, at least where I'm at, I can simply go into our family doctor and literally tell them I want to see whatever specialist and they make the referral without even asking why. Too bad your system doesn't work that way. Stick around. This site is awesome and, as one single mom to another, you'll never be alone and EVERYONE here will keep you strong ..... and sane. I honestly don't think I would have kept my sanity this long if it hadn't been for this place. Everyone here has become family to me ..... even though I've only SEEN 4-5 of them (during a group Skype session) and actually done things with 2 of them. [/QUOTE]
