I've got a 20 year old son with Aspberger's Syndrome. He was diagnosed at three years old after going to about 20 different professionals getting different diagnosis almost everytime. Autism has a very wide spectrum from very mild to very severe. I know kids with both.
I wouldn't worry about Emma Kelly unless you really start looking hard and see some signs. Does she point? My son had eye contact. He wouldn't bite down on a cracker or cookie and at the time I didn't see anything wrong with that but now I know that was a sign. He was facinated with a ceiling fan and I didn't realize that sign at the time. Early intervention is the key.
