I’d really appreciate any recollections you can share abojt what it was like.
Our dd has been on track til now - watched her v closely as she had nasty case of meningitis at 4 months - and v chatty, engaged etc. The last few weeks she’s very different: lost words, stopped waving, stopped responding to her name. Dh initially concerned too now I think trying to be more positive / denying it. GP and HV have asked us to keep an eye and come back in six weeks. All feels really noticeable to me but also as I’m the only one now looking and he’s in the role of “oh it’s grand” as are my friends and family don’t really have a sounding board. Today she was v distressed and walking in a circle furiously quickly then lost balance and smashed head on radiator poor love - seemed unlike anything I’ve seen her do before but I really don’t know what I’m looking for and been advised to stay off google. Would hugely appreciate any steers on what you saw at this age that was later deemed significant and what steps you took to help them? It’s the distress not the autism I am worried about - she has it or she doesn’t and we will help her as we can, I just want to ease what seems to be real frustration and unhappiness in her at present - she’s normally so cheerful.
