[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 365495, member: 1169"] She should be literal at 2.5 years of age, but the other symptoms all could be markers for an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis. Call your local public school, tell them you have a 2 year old with suspected special needs and you need the number for your local ECI program. Here is info about Texas ECI: [url]http://www.dars.state.tx.us/ecis/publications/EnglishHandbook.pdf[/url] They should screen her in all of the major areas (gross motor, fine motor, speech/language, self-help, social-emotional). If any of the screenings show a concern, they should conduct a full evaluation of that area(s). Meanwhile, try and track her meltdowns. Are they happening at a certain time of day? After she eats a certain food or type of food? During specific activities? The more you can pin down why she is melting down, the more you will be able to prevent them. At this point in time, I would focus on minimizing the number of meltdowns, even if that means you need to back off some of your expectations for now. Once you get a handle on what is going on, you will be able to develop a plan to teach her whatever skills she is missing and then move forward with higher expectations. Tigger was clearly different from about 18 months. Have you looked at the Early Childhood Zone on this forum, lots of parents with very young children. Welcome! [/QUOTE]
