I just listened to you talking about Emma Kelly. I'm the one with a 20 year old with Aspberger's. Kelly, start looking at other aspects of Emma Kelly. Like I said before, Tanner wouldn't bit down on a cookie , he would gum it. He wouldn't play normally with toys. He had to be taught but Occupational specialists to do this. Get her around other kids her age and study them together. Does she interact socially with other kids NORMALLY. my son would play around other kids but not interact with them. I had to be shown this. I didn't realize this at first. There is a speech therapist my son went to at Easter Seals in Carrollton who was a God send to me. She taught me more how to deal with Tanner. I would take him to Speech and then go home and work with him doing everything she did at the sessions. I could find out where she is now and I know she would be willing to talk to you. I know this is hard, I didn't want to know either, but if it is autism or somewhere on the spectrum, you need to find out and get therapy fast. It helped my son so much. It probably isn't autism but it's best to find out early.
