[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can only speak for me. When I was going through a divorce my friend invited me and DD out for a playdate. A week later, I called to get her opinion. She had three kids. Did she think something was off with my daughter? The teacher at the new daycare had just pulled me aside to sheepishly tell me that she thought my daughter had a speech delay. My friend told me that she'd wanted to say something a while ago but didn't think it was her place. She didn't think it was just a speech delay. She thought it was autism. I was surprised by how many of my friends suspected something but didn't say anything. It took a complete stranger to tell me. I relayed this to my soon to be ex who accused me of using it as a cheap guilt trip. I went through the process of trying to get an eval by myself for two months. It wasn't until my ex went on a tirade about me to a coworker who'd met DD that they revealed having the same concerns. My point is that you may be the only person who actually says anything. DD was diagnosed with ASD and severe speech delay. It's been almost ten years, but I'm grateful to that daycare worker.
