I have a wilful 2.4 year old dd and today we went to baby trampoline club for the second time today and the first was two weeks ago! While on the tranpoline the woman running the club was askung dd to jump on the criss and look at her she kept calling her and dd was not responding she said to me shes nit hearing you and ill talk to you after the session. She then went on to say i work with children who have asperges autism ect and i know the signs not listening zoning out not having fear being willful exspresions and a list
of other things and now im worrying sick about all that she has said im so so upset and feel really tearful. I have phoned hv and she said to go and see them tuesday! Cant get it all out my head and now im looking at everything she does. Feeling phiscaly ill :(

Time to put this out of your mind now. The health professionals are telling you there is nothing to worry about. You have to believe that they know more than the trampolining lady.
Don't let your anxiety about a throw away comment by somone who barely knows your DD spoil everything. Keep it in perspective. It was an unsolicited comment by someone who has no actual qualifications to make any kind of diagnosis whatsoever. It is really important that you see that and stop worrying. It is the equivalent of me telling astronauts what they should do up in space - I'd just be talking rubbish!!!!!
