[quote=Anonymous]My two year old was extremely shy of anyone she didn't know. It took her literally weeks of near constant exposure to warm up to new people, and she hated having people come to our house, or going to people's houses. But she showed no developmental delays around people she knew, and was extremely talkative with them. By three, she had grown out of it. Still not the biggest social butterfly, but now she deals with unknown adults politely and is relatively outgoing to children. PP that suggested this indicates something wrong with the care child is receiving is incorrect -- it's just a personality thing for some kids. I have other kids that are the polar opposite. I would look at how the child interacts with people the child does know well in order to assess whether its shyness or ASD.[/quote]
