my 2 older boys (age 8 and nearly 4) both have high functioning autism/AS and i also have a little girl aged just 2. now because i havent yet had experience of NT development i dont know whether what she is starting to do is usual toddler behaviour or whether she is going same way as the boys. i dont think she is copying (well no, she definitely isnt) because they dont do it..... she has started religiously lining things up, cars, playmobil people, beads, anything really. she has also become very fussy about what toilet she goes to. she wouldnt go in one the other day because it was 'melly' (smelly!!!!) which it actually wasnt really, not like some. she also gets furious if anyone sings, which is exactly what ds2 used to be like, and still can be sometimes.
please dont think i'm wishing it upon her because i so so hope its just toddler behaviour but just cant help picking up on things, now that i know. i kind of know too much now!
ds1 and ds2 didnt start exhibiting odd behaviours til 2 or 3. what do you think?
