My 4 year old daughter likes to bear hug all the other (mostly smaller girls) in her nursery class.
From what have I witnessed at drop off/pick up such ott friendliness is not reciprocated and often leads to me intervening.
She approaches everybody in tesco. Asking their name and how old they are. Will hug and try to grab the hands of any random shopper, asking their name.
Loads of other background stuff. Refuses to be called by given name, insisting only by nickname - which has differed depending on favourite school topic/book etc.
Under 2 she went to a small nursery setting who flagged concerns.
An assessor has been to school. She is way way ahead in numeracy and literacy, but they want to do a home visit to see what she's like at home. They have said she doesn't tick enough boxes for ASD so far.
I am a first time parent. I don't know whats neurotypical but I'm struggling. what support should I ask for when they come to the house?
I have talked to her about personal space, body bubbles, stranger danger etc etc nothing seems to sink in.
nursery seem to be a bit sweeping. any advice please? thank you xxx
