[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, intense fascination with Thomas trains that did not ebb, lining cars up in rows, and a love of spinning.[/quote]

Lego obsession, odd, age-inappropriate interest in words/vocabulary, inability to pick up on social cues; talks non-stop about one subject (Legos) and doesn't notice that listener's interest is waning, obsession with "rules" of games - difficult to relax and play a game with others without deeming something against the rules, for instance.  Can't complete a game without an argument.

Heightened sensitivity to stimuli - extremely sensitive to smells, taste, texture, ambient noise.  Extremely picky eater and prone to ritualistic behavior (can't eat unless food doesn't touch, is on the right plate, etc.). Can become abnormally thin.  Growth may cease...no change in shoe size, for instance for a year.

Defiance - almost attracted to dangerous play.  If warned against doing something, will attempt.  Might run in front of a car if told to stop for the car.  Oppositional defiant.

Possibly odd gait.  Just an uncoordinated walk and awkward run.  Noticeable among group of same age peers.

Craves routine.  Schedule disruption can cause tantrums or emotional outbursts, defiance.  Something as simple as running late for school or a two hour delay is untenable.

Keen interest in esoterica.
