I've been chatting to a friend today and she's a little worried about her 4yo. We're both overseas btw, so not many other peers for comparison.
Our DD's are the same age and up until now haven't seemed any different at all, but just recently her mum is starting to worry about her DD in comparison to other children.
I always thought her DD was shy, but in reflection it's taken a couple of years to get her to talk to me. If she does say anything it's a single word. She does talk more to her mum though, but generally to adults and other children she just stares at them blankly if addressed.
Her mum is saying that she's clearly bright but seems to think differently to other children. She's been at pre-school for a year but still isn't fitting in with the other children or talking to the staff.
My nanny, who obviously has much more experience than me is wondering if she is mildly autistic.
What do you think? Any ideas?
