Dd is 2.0 and a daredevil. She went swimming and there was a new teacher and when dd dived underwater as she does and came up laughing she asked if she had special needs or was autistic. Would fearlessness be a sign of autism or is she just talking rubbish?
Dd doesn't have any other signs of autism but I do wonder if she feels pain. At nursery she is often in the accident book but they say she hasn't cried. She will cry if sick/upset but it seems like physical injuries seem to not bother her.
