[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need to bring back onset before age 3, that would solve everything.[/quote] For real? Girls are often overlooked because presentation can be different. We reported to pediatricians differences in behavior we noticed around 8 months. Each visit id take the autism questionnaire but it never felt quite right. I’d then bring up other differences and doctors would always say “it’s just a phase” or “try this activity.” It was an experienced preschool teacher who said “I’ve been working with 3 and 4 year olds for 25 years. I recommend you get an autism evaluation.” She was right. It took observation over a period of time and with a larger group of kids to notice the differences. [/quote] Your daughter had onset before age 3. Medical providers just refused to recognize it/didn’t listen to you. I’m not arguing for onset before age 3 to be a requirement. I’m just saying that your daughter would meet it.[/quote]
