My dd is 2.6 and doesn't seem to be as physically able as her peers, she can't jump and doesn't really climb much. At toddler group the others climb in and out of the ball pit jumping from the edge and rolling around, mine gets a leg up the shouts for me to help her. She also doesn't seem to like other children her own age - especially if they get into the ball pit when she's already there. This pretty much always ends with her looking horrified and yelling for me to rescue her. Finally she does this arm waving thing, mainly when she's excited about something but sometimes just randomly its kind of like they do their own thing and she loses control of them for several seconds.
Is this normal? Will she grow out of it? I'm paranoid about autism as there seems to be a lot of it in dh's family but when I read up on that her other behaviour doesn't match. I'm just really worried about how she will cope in school if she can't behave like the others.
