[QUOTE="totoro, post: 164732, member: 3155"] She has not had a Nuero-psychiatric evaluation yet. We were just trying to get her into a Dev. pediatrician First. I don't know why, But I thought with her only being 3 that would be a better route first. Now that she is 4 and getting wore I am going to push for the Dev. pediatrician and then in conjunction try to find a Neuro-psychiatric in Tucson. I have read a lot on Bipolar Disorder and the percentage of family members that are on the Spectrum is pretty high... She is a lot different than K and myself as a kid. From birth up until now. I have read a lot of books about Autism, because I honestly feel the therapies work for almost all of our kids regardless of the diagnosis, or at least they don't hurt. Then I read Temple Grandin's books, it was like a lightbulb went off! N is so much like her... husband and I jokingly call her Temple or David. After David Sedaris, when he was a kid he licked things and had very particular behaviors! Yes, the shampoo is one that she, every single time, will say. "What does this taste like?" "Do you think it tastes like honey?" "It looks like honey" "Hmmm, No it doesn't taste like honey" But she has do it every time, no matter what we say! She licked her cars today, saying it made them go faster... Oh and she still has the cluttering of her speech, which gets worse when she is anxious or excited. [/QUOTE]
