[quote=Anonymous]Please help me to look at my situation.

My daughter is 2 year old, and her eye contact & pointing has been improving for the last couple months. Her speech is improving in a slow rate (gain a few words over the last couple months), and she is still working on it with speech therapist. Her receptive language (understanding) improves a lot, and she understand a lot in 2 languages (bilingual family). She does not have any medical diagnosis yet, but developmental psychologist still has not ruled out ASD yet on her, that means she is still under watch every couple months.

The thing that concerns me a lot these days is her not understanding personal space & social cue. I hear that kid that is autistic could be outgoing & social, but he/she does not play at the same level as other kids with similar age, and sometimes not understanding social cues/personal space. My DD is really social & outgoing, even though she does not have many words, she always make the move & try to play with kids (younger or older) or adults in any new environment. She will give kid hug, hold their hands, give them something to share, and also copy other kids what they are doing. She loves to play all the time, and does not understand personal space (especially strangers). The problem is that sometimes some kids does not want to be touched, and she does not get it. She would still continue touching them till they run away & walk away. And, I think she is way too friendly to people that she barely knows, and she is laughing, smiling & running everywhere. She normally does not follow any gym or music classes instruction, or sit in circle time, and a lot of time, she does not follow kids' actions in a structured class. However, she does well in free play class. She understand when people are happy, sad, and she will give me a hug if she find out that I am mad at her. So, kids that are ASD can be also social & outgoing, right?[/quote]
