[QUOTE="1234567, post: 204173"] To answer some questions: She walked at 8 months. Ran at 8.5 and hasn't slowed down since. She is extraordinarily verbal and communicative. She plays well with her peers, but tends to like kids a few years older than she is. 5-6 is her preferred range of friends. The older kids play with her and enjoy her. She is inpatient with her friends her age, especially if they are not very verbal or phsyically active. Socially, I think she would do just fine with older kids, and would even say she's advanced in this area. She has great eye contact and doesn't really fit the criteria for any kind of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), including Asberger's. Sometimes she is a joy, and sometimes she is, for lack of a better word, just pissy. She wakes up in a bad mood and is a grump. She crosses her arms and glares at you and just complains. She doesn't hit, kick, etc., but she does roll her eyes and speak in dramatic tones with heavy sighs. Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a melodramatic 30 year old. She wants to "play school" all the time, but whenever I try to give her a lesson, she loses interest quickly. She can read some (mainly sight words) but loses interest after about 3-4 pages in the Dick and Jane books. She did finish the other night standing on her head, though, reading upside down. :knockedout: We don't push it, and don't have her read unless she asks to. She is somewhat weak (perhaps average, but weak compared to her other skills) in her fine motor skills. She can write her name and some letters, but still mainly scribbles when it's time to draw a pictures. Nothing recognizable, although she can do a stick man with some hard work. [/QUOTE]
