DD has had a very recent diagnosis of Aspergers. I've had a lot of questions, but my main one being about the behaviours at an early age? It seems Aspergers is harder to diagnose in girls until a later age, but were there any signs at a younger age? Have their Asperger traits gotten worse over time and then plateau'd?

Oh sorry - I thought I was starting a new thread! Didn't mean to hijack your thread (I'm new to mumsnet!)

No tantrums. A very early talker, long sentences at 18m. Recognising phonics at just turned 2. Sounding out words at just turned 3 (school nursery had me down as a pushy Mum).
Obsessed with the number 5 and a special.toy that is still adored several years later.
Would engage and chat with adults in a very mature way. Adults adored her! Never really played with other kids though.
Late to potty train, late sitter, crawler, walker and runner.
