No, I guess they aren't.[/quote]

—washing hands for touching outside of wastebasket 
—needing to wear long sleeves and pants regardless of weather
—needing to change shirt over a few drops of water
—no seams in socks

Op at age 5 there’s something more going on.  Get on a waitlist for a developmental pediatrician at children’s or kki.  You can always cancel.  But I would get your kid evaluated before these quirks start interfering with regular activities.[/quote]

This is why there's a two year wait list to see a developmental pediatrician.   :roll:

Don’t exaggerate.  An appointment might be a year out.  Kki keeps a cancellation list.  The op can always cancel.  However if these behaviors multiply or start interfering with daily life, she’s set up to get help and answers.[/quote]

Is this the standard you use for yourself when you have an issue, like you find yourself picking at a scab or worrying about Trump all the time? I'll make an appointment for a year from now, so that if this starts affecting my life, I'll be on a waitlist somewhere? Because it's truly not an effective way to deal with any actual issue, and it's an absurd way to clog the medical system. You can't pre-empt every little issue in your child's life. AND YES. This is why it's so difficult for children with real, immediate, and very concerning developmental issues to get in to see developmental pediatricians.[/quote]
