So, I have a bit of a Mummy feeling about this one. And having a teenager with Asperger's who was diagnosed very late, despite my repeated assertions that something was not quite right...
I have year old twins. Chalk and cheese. One is very fair, very sensitive to light (she takes a long time to accustom when lights are turned on, screws up her eyes, seems upset), to certain noises (eg we can't go into Tesco, I think it might be the hum of the freezers, other shops are OK, or maybe she's a Waitrose girl!) and has just developed eczema.
She's not interested in crawling and hates being on her front, much preferring to sit, though nothing approaching a bottom shuffle yet.
She's less affectionate than her very cuddly sister.
But in other ways she's absolutely fine. She's chatty, lots of eye contact, lovely smiles, seems to be associating words with things, interested in people and her twin, loves making 'music', will hold her arms out to me to be held etc. And I wonder whether I'm just noticing more because of having a twin to compare.
But should I be keeping a watch out? And if so, for what? We were at the GP for her eczema and I mentioned all this but the GP said she seemed fine.
Have written a bit more about it (but not mentioning my concerns, given the grandparents read my blog!) here:
