[QUOTE="buddy, post: 498372, member: 12886"] what I meant was from an earlier conversation about the loss of development... the speech sounds that she had shown some of early on have stopped but the rest has not. there is no loss of desire for communication at all. (right? That is what I am hearing??) no fixation with anything, no loss of other skills that had developed, no sensory issues, no feeding issues, etc. (again, right??? am I hearing you right about that??) and when she has meltdowns it is not over a change or texture or those kinds of things, it seems to be more typical baby things AND actually not getting what she is desperately TRYING to communicate, rather than kids with autism who tend to have that same response because the thing they want is not magically showing up for them. Or because they can't use another body to get it the way they want. Early in her concern on this board, there was a question about the form of autism which is a much smaller group of autism where at an older age (usually more around 3-4ish) there is a stopping and regressing of development and communication is the most obvious but it really hits most areas in some way. It usually is quite severe and more ominous than the other more common forms of autism (of course Rett's is much worse as it is a progressive disease). All along it has seemed to me that ktllc is pretty open to making sure about autism, and continuing to be on guard in case it is that, I would for sure do that too.... Just in this case, it so far does not add up but she has said it before...and she is doing what one would do anyway if there was autism. there really are many reasons for slow speech and language development. All we can do is pay very close attention so Sweet Pea seems to be in really good hands with tons of board aunties who really care. does that makes sense? (I would never rule in or out anything...
