[quote=Anonymous]My now 6 yo was diagnosed just before she turned 5.

As a baby around 9 months old she started stimming. She was a little late to talk (no words at 16 months but talking up a storm at home by age 2). As a toddler, she did not point. She also stopped talking at daycare, so we got treatment for selective mutism. Her play was very repetitive, often wanting us to repeat a script over and over again. She could get very dysregulated but her long meltdowns were fortunately not that frequent. She has always seemed very social, smiley as a baby, loved parallel play but struggled to progress to cooperative play. In preschool she would often follow friends around at the playground without really understanding what they were doing. She didn't know when to say hello or goodbye - she'd tell bye at friends that were busy doing something else and not paying attention to her.

Now she still stims, and rocks a bit at school. She can be rigid about routines. She has made friends in K and they seem to like her too. She has two besties, a boy and a girl.[/quote]
