[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with those who say autism. Lack of social skills with peers is a symptom of autism but it's not autism itself. If she is able to communicate normally to adults and shows normal emotional range and ability to interpret social signals from adults, she's likely not autistic. She does sound like an old soul to me - or at least one that hasn't had the opportunity to learn to interact with other kids. I think you need to give her more opportunities to socialize with kids with similar-ish interests and see what happens. I wouldn't force her to do anything, just give her more opportunities and see if anything clicks.[/quote]

I don’t think anyone here should be saying anything diagnostic at all. But I’ll just point out that you don’t need a diagnosis to get some extra help if your child is behind on something or struggling with something. Since this child has two siblings who are not babies I wonder a little bit of this will resolve with out some extra help, whether that’s some sessions with a therapist or something more formal. Idk I just know that’s things can take a while to look into so I’d start now, you can pause or stop the process if things are going better later [/quote]
