2.5 year old concerns

Toddlers copy and repeat everything its perfectly normal, i have absolutely no idea what your concerns are she sounds like a normal 2yo

Oh she'll absolutely be back in a few weeks, and there will be people who have never come across her before trying to give help and advice. Probably people who have genuine reasons for concern about their own children. And as always she won't engage with anyone who tells her that her DD is developing normally for a child that age.

It's very worrying behaviour, and a little scary. WHY does the OP seem so hell bent on diagnosing her DD with ASD?! And how long is this going to go on for? Has the OP ever mentioned her DD's father? Or friends and family? Surely there's somebody that could help facilitate the OP getting some help because I actually dread to think how this is all going to pan out for the child!

I completely agree. The OP has a track of asking for updates on threads that are several years old. It must be so upsetting for the posters who are going through genuine challenges. PMing a poster about a post from 20 years ago is absolutely insane.

i have anxiety but this is so far beyond this. No sane mother would worry about things like language acquisition, pronoun reversal, gestalt language whatever and over analyse her daughter the way she does. There's no warmth or love when she speaks about her daughter, she speaks her about some of labatory project, constantly observed and analysed for the tiniest behaviour. There's no enjoying her daughter at all.

I feel MN need to remove these posts when they come up. As no doubt the OP, will ignore everything on this thread and be back once again with a new username and another post about another non issue.

I have aversions to Brie; nobody likes every thing.

I didn’t start liking mushrooms till my 40s.

it’s more normal for kids to be fussy than happily eat anything

@Babymad1234 you actually pm'd this user about their 20 year old thread?! That is seriously batshit and proof of how obsessed you are. I've read your previous posts and you really do seem determined to find something wrong with your DD, even though everything you describe sounds absolutely normal for her age. You have to address this, it's gone on far too long and I can't see how you can just enjoy your daughter when you're constantly analysing everything about her. It's more than anxiety; other's have mentioned Munchausen's by Proxy and I definitely think that's possible.

Go to your GP - about you, not your daughter. Your daughter is fine.

Your child sounds perfectly normal
to me, everything you have said, we have been through will similar age DD. Including the food preferences (things she has gone off now will
come roaring back), “scripted” answers (she will have picked up the phrase from somewhere and is applying it).

My advice is to chill out and let your child be. Sounds like she is doing great.

Of course they won't
Mumsnet needs to ban them.for their own sake people answering in good faith really aren't helping them.

Are you going to address the fact you need serious mental health help as soon as possible? Or are you just going to stay delusional? Munchausens is a form of child abuse.

You've been told by many many people that nothing you've said is a concern. Why are you just sitting here hoping to one day have concerns? Hoping your child is disabled. You absolute freak.

Yes, it is. The OP has been told this repeatedly.

I remember you with the egg meatballs. You posted before about your child's diet. Everyone said it was fine and there was nothing wrong.

So are you just fishing for compliments? Do you genuinely think there's something wrong with your child?

But isn't scripting a natural part of language development?

The thing you dont seem to understand, op, is that toddlers are weird little buggers, capable of doing almost anything from only liking carrots on Tuesdays to going round with their thumb stuck up their arse.

Normal behaviour for toddlers looks very much like not normal at all. 😁 but it is normal.

If whether your child is 'normal' (for want of a better word) or not is becoming an obsession for you then please do go to the GP and talk about ways they can help you.

wow that’s amazing! Mine wouldn’t even try a bite and one still won’t aged 7. The 12 yr old might but it’s a recent thing. He was super picky. Survived off fish fingers and porridge for years.

just keep offering. They often start branching out at school

Is it DLA your after i wonder ?🤔

Seriously get help for your mental health. You are severely mentally unwell. Your daughter is fine, you on the other hand have a serious mental health condition called Munchausen's by proxy (now also called FII)

It's absolutely DISGUSTING that you're so obsessed with having a ND child. Get help because you're currently a danger to your child and if I knew you in person I wouldn't hesitate to call social services on you. Complete safeguarding issue tbh

You again.

Clearly this is what you want to hear so...

Sure, she sounds terribly delayed and you should seek help ASAP.

I've got four DC @Babymad1234

They all went through fussy phases when they were toddlers. That's the nature of toddlers.

You must try to calm down and just enjoy your baby.

Both of mine were really good eaters, then went through fussy stages- they both currently eat plain pasta, yoghurt and strawberries, everything else is a battle. It’s completely normal.

That is normal.

Are you concerned that she isn't using I? What you describe sounds like a perfectly normal child of that age.
My nearly 4yo gs says my instead of I and mine instead of my. His development is just fine.

@OP are you going to address any of the comments about you getting help?

It's perfectly normal for babies who eat everything to become pickier toddlers. Keep offering a variety and it will more than likely pass.

I have 2 autistic sons who are now in their 20s.

my first was diagnosed at 2.5 and my second at 3.

Absolutely nothing you have described sounds, to me, of any concern whatsoever.
