[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all those saying autistic, that makes me really sad, but I’ve always thought it was a real possibility. So thanks for those comments. We’ll get her evaluated when she’s a little older.

Any suggestions on how to handle The crying in the meantime?[/quote]

Why not get her evaluated now? We got my daughter evaluated and diagnosed through children’s National child development clinic at your daughter’s age. Our DD is considered high functioning—so it is possible to diagnose at that age. If she is on the spectrum you want access to early intervention as soon as possible including parent training (a diagnosis often helps insurance to cover it).[/quote]

I second this, there’s no sense in waiting. In DC you can self-refer for a city-funded assessment; you don’t need a referral through the pediatrician. Google child find + your city. Also, go ahead and get on some evaluation lists because you may have to wait a year anyway. Your closest children’s hospital would be a good place to start.

I’m extremely sympathetic. My daughter’s behavior is by far the worst with me, and I’m the only one who has read all the parenting books and does all the “right” things. I never change from No to yes because of behavior. I build predictable routines. I am neutral in the face of crying/whining all of it. I have read this is because I’m her “safe space” and I want to believe it, but of course I also doubt myself. It’s very hard. [/quote]
