[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 498396, member: 11847"] Wow, a lot has ben discussed WM and Buddy! Thanks for all your input. I do understand she is little yet. But like you both suggested: I keep my mind open. I do follow her therapy plan and the advice they give but going to this forum helps me make sure that those advice are good and indeed worth following. I understand what the alternative communications systems are a bit better. And signs language seems to be the best fit for now. Her family is her world and we are ALL learning the signs, even the boys! And outside of the house, I'm usually around to translate anyway. We've had some funny moments actually: she would sign to people and they would think she's just playing with her hands. They would then "play" along and she would start frowning and keep signing. Then I would explain what she does/says and they would go "oops" feeling a little (just a little) stupid in front of the baby. lol Except through this forum, I have never seen any autistic child. My son have been described as having autistic traits, but that's all. So I suppose, I'll have to trust the professionals on that one. I need to decide what sysmptoms are bothersome for our family and which one are not. Just to explain what I mean: the fact that V likes to sort and position his toys in a row doesn't bother me whatsoever. The fact that V does give people a weird look and doesn't answer any greetings when he first sees them (even familiar people) is an issue for me and we patiently work on it. I want to make sure we do everything we can. For Sweet Pea, I am not looking for a "why" yet. Wether it is genetic, coordination or simple delay I don't want to worry about that yet as long as the therapy covers all basis. Labels come handy when a child goes in the outside world (mainly school), until then I really don't have to explain anything to anyone. People already ask me *why* she's not talking. My answer is a smile and "it could be one of million reasons" but she is haapy and bright. She will be just fine. I ask questions on the forum to educate myself, not feed any worries. I'd like to say I'm more conscious of the situation than I am worried about it. [/QUOTE]
