[quote=Anonymous]My kid is 6 years old. She is flexible, has friends and has no intense interests. On the other hand, her eye contact is inconsistent. When she tells stories, she always looks all around as if the story is playing out in front of her. We often have to remind her to look at people when she asks a question or says “thank you.” She loves make believe games with friends and is very creative, but if a friend loses interest, she’ll just keep the make believe game going on her own, talking to stuffed animals, narrating out loud, etc. She engages when she sees friends after school on the playground, but, at recess, she prefers to play alone (again, talking to herself as she engages in make believe). Stixrud said we should “keep an eye on” things for a possible ASD diagnosis. Does this sound like ASD to you? What’s your ASD kid like? How did you know it was ASD? [/quote]
