DD age 3 is currently awaiting assessment for possible ASD.
She is both under height and weight for her age and very petite.
When in the throes of a meltdown myself and dh have noted her strong muscle strength. She becomes so rigid and can tighten her muscles (I.e clamping her legs together when trying to change her nappy) so much that its physically impossible to move or restrain her.
Yet when she is calm her arms and legs seem almost floppy.
Is this something we should raise concern over? Im unsure if it could be related or if its normal? Any ideas?
