[QUOTE="gafirewife, post: 298990, member: 7865"] SRL - I haven't noticed that she lines things up or puts them in formation when she plays. However, she is a VERY organized child. She is extremely particular about how things should be, which is reflected in everything, from how she cleans her room to how she gets dressed and it does even carry over into her play. When things aren't exactly the way they should be, she gets very frustrated and it often leads to a fit. While she does have some interests that other girls her age have (baby dolls, dress up), she is also very tom-boyish. She tends to be more into things like Spiderman and cars than "girly" things. But they do seem to be on target for what other kids her age are into. Her speech and motor skills at this point seem to be pretty equal to those of her peers. She seems able to fully understand everything going on around her, but sometimes it does seem like it takes her a bit longer to process what people say to her or when we ask her to do something. Kind of like she's playing it back to herself in her head. Not sure if that's significant, but it is something that we've noticed. Academically, she also seems on track with her peers. She's not significantly above or beyond where I would expect a 4-year-old to be. Another thing I forgot to add is that sometimes when she gets very upset, she kind of shuts down. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, she will isolate herself and not talk to anyone for usually half an hour or more. Most of the time, though, she gets upset and lashes out instead of shutting down. I haven't researched much into Asperger's or any other Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)'s, so I will definitely look into those. Thank you all so much for all of the tips and info you've given me so far! This is a great board for support and information! --Heather [/QUOTE]
