[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 645998, member: 1991"] One more thing. With autism, girls are often very different. Also difficult to diagnose because they seem to be more complex and more capable in some areas. easy child 2/difficult child 2 was a challenge and a delight. At 2 years old, we saw the first signs of what could be called ODD. It was her emulating adult disciplinary behaviour. We had a rule - drink a cup of water for every second drink. Well, she wanted juice for every drink. A classic (and sadly common) event was this two year old standing there, hands on hips when I handed her a cup of water and saying loudly and firmly, "I told you, I said I wanted juice! Why don't you listen?" Yes, she was precocious. Very adept with language. She's 29 now and I still have to slap her down when she tries to tell me how it should be. Interestingly, her baby is showing some interesting traits and possibly early warning signs of language delay. Her focus is now all on helping her baby and finding other ways to help him develop the skills he needs. Marg [/QUOTE]
