[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 335372, member: 8831"] thanks marg :happy: you made me smile. its funny you pulled that exact quote--i stumbled on it after this all started and would have laid a bet thats exactly what we were seeing. i actually questioned daughter specifically on that exact thing. it was a lightbulb moment for me....[I]except[/I]... daughter does insist its real, talks to her, sits next to her, and often pokes her. and lives in my guest room. a hair more than [I]of course i hear voices,[/I] Know what I mean?? the poking is bizarre. i really, really want to believe its truly imaginary play and a coping mechanism, and an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) trait. i'm just terrified its not. as for ds...well, lol, he's not on the spectrum but has everything under the sun wrong with him--major congenital anomolies, juvenile arthritis, major allergies, non verbal, and on and on. happiest person i know. and he IS the coolest of the cool (i dont want to put too much info about both kids in one post because if anyone was ever looking they would clearly know its me!). he's a player though...and zeros in on the prettiest girl in the room (often the most endowed, too, ROFL!) suffice to say, i'm familiar with a variety of things on the medical and educational side courtesy of him. which is pretty much why daughter had services and has been hauled to a variety of docs when she was younger. at some point, when they kept telling me i was "overconcerned", i had to believe them. i've always known there was something (Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD))...for whatever reason, she fell through the proverbial cracks.
