We manage well with routine, explanations, diet and coaching on nearly every aspect of life from me.
But it is so frustrating and exhausting. I sometimes resent the need when I see her siblings absorb all skills like a sponge with no teaching.
Not her fault I know.
We are unlikely to get much social support as financially ok and I am a sahm so have time and abilty to give help myself.
She is 7 and has started teaching herself what is right and normal and when exceptions are ok. She is very clever.
Always been concerned about DD.
Didn't sleep, still agitated and restless at night but has learnt not to disturb others.
Never still in the day.
Poor feeder but first child so spent hours breast feeding, still underweight. Same as sister who is 3 years younger
Hates high pitch noises but is high pitched herself. Can not shout.
Hates busy or noisy enviroments.
Anxious but not cuddly.
Speech delay sorted with speech therapy.
Did not babble or point until taught to at 2 years.
Reluctant to make eye contact, will if told to.
Finds it hard to listen, hearing fine.
Sill wets occasionally and not dry at night.
She finds it hard to make decisions and takes the lead from her sister or friends but then tries to take over and gets upset when they won't cooperate. Is unable to play on her own.
The Dr sees a well behaved bright child who put on an act for the out side world. I feel like they do not believe me when I explain my concerns. I never mentioned them until I saw the huge difference with my second child.
Have seen a paediatrician but was told she is unlikely to be diagnosed as AS.
