[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 712372, member: 1550"] Remember, parents are not professionals either. If anything is wrong catching it early rather than later helps the long term prognosis. Too often serious childhood disorders such as autism are missed and passed on as "she will grow out of it." Then they are 12 and still struggling, maybe doing drugs. It hurts more to help than to keep an eye on things with good professionals who understand childhood disorders. I raised five kids to adulthood. If they start out different they normally stay different and without interventions it gets worse as they age. Its your choice but while talking to other moms help YOU emotionally, it doesnt help the child. I suggest a neuro psychologist (a psychologist with extra training in the brain) or a pediatric team of professionals, each whom evaluate different areas of your childs development. You can find both at university hospitals. Usually they accept medicaid. . If you wait for your child to "grow out if it" it is often very bad for you and your child. Your mom gut is telling you that your daughter is different. This is likely right. We know, but some of us try to hope it disappears. It rarely does if you in know she needs more than other kids. That she is not like her peers. It may seem to get better better in K-3, but once your child is more on hero own, usually grade 4, (this is when my son began to falter) the child is struggling socially and academically. I am not talking about emotional problems. More like ADHD, autism, sensory integration disorder, learning problems, etc. Neirologically differences that make our kids struggle more even if they have very high IQs. Yes, they can fail socially and academically with high I Qs if their brains are wired differently. This glitch CAN be helped!! My son is 24 and doing amazing now. It is up to you. I wish you luck.
