[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 403966, member: 1550"] Right off the bat, I would say I'd take her to a developmental pediatrician or neuropsychologist. She has some serious symptoms of autistic spectrum disorder (high functioning). Language delays, high anxiety, sensory issues, obsessiveness...all part of the spectrum. That would explain why she won't interact with her peers and why her thinking is so "black and white." My son, who is on the spectrum, did not have strict gender restrictions, but he also had some very quirky "do" and "don't:" behaviors and there was no room for middle ground. These kids can often seem one way at home and totally different...lost...in an unfamiliar place with "strangers." Strangers can be anybody not in their family! We can't possibly diagnose from here, but I think there are enough red flags to check this out and unfortunately regular pediatricians are usually pretty clueless about these disorders so you have to seek out others to do testing.
