Dear Kellie, I know how you are feeling right now... when my daughter was one i noticed she had what I called "quirky" behavior which included hand flapping, "ticks" that were obviously unintentional and she HAD to do it, as well as if i tried to dress her in anything that had elastic in the sleeves, waist etc... she would immediately start screaming as if I was killing her and when I took it off she immediately quit and would calm down. I started doing searches and found an abundance of information that this could be early signs of Autism and Sensory Integration Disorder, I was devistated and started reading everything I could and comparing and got to the point where I was literally in the bathroom sick. I addressed my concerns to the pediatrician who said it was too early to tell anything and blah blah.

I am happy to tell you she is now 2 1/2 and a "normal" happy two year old with no developmental issues =) Little ones are "quirky" and express themselves in many ways, to this day she hates elastic in her sleeves it just goes to show how opionated they are even when they can not verbally tell you and you think they are way to young to know what they like and do not like. She has outgrown all of the "ticks" that seemed to be involintary and come to find out it is very normal for babies!
