She seems so young still, and vulnerable.
She skates a very fine line between NT and AS, and I don't know how to approach that with the school. What should I say? How much should I tell them?
Dd2 is a funny mix of confident and outgoing (well, that's how it comes across to those who don't know her well) and incredibly inverted and sensitive.
She cannot cope with even the thought of doing something wrong, even the slightest thing like dropping a toy, or spilling her drink is the end of the world for her.
She is 3.8, and still in nappies. She is scared of using the toilet.
She is inflexible in her play, does not cope well at times with suggestions for extending it.
On the plus side, she has recently taken a huge leap in imaginative play (yes, I know its late developmentally) so maybe she is "just" a late starter.
She OS the sweetest little thing, and always so eager to please, right up until she can mo longer hold it all in, and then she just crumbles.
School know that dd1 is ASD, and also know that we are keeping an eye on dd2, but how much more input should I give?
They have said that I can take as long as necessary to settle her, but from experience with dd1 (different pre school) this means a couple of sessions.
Dd2 is looking forward to school, lots. She was talking about it tonight, as she laid out her clothes, but she is totally under the impression that I be where I always have been, right next to her.
Oh bugger. She's too little for this
