Hello and welcome. I enjoyed reading your intro and as I am very new to all this, you seem like who I want to be. As knowledgeable as you can possibly be and the biggest advocate your child can have.  |

| Until he was 3.5 my son (now 4.5) had to fall asleep with one hand wrapped in my hair. He had a very specific way that he wound his hand into it. It was like his security blanket. |

| I have no advice as I am brand new to this. I just wanted to say thanks for posting this because it explains why my son does things like this. I didn't understand why he would get mad at an object and yell at it when I *think* he knows it's just an object. Now I understand a little better. |

| The lists of traits you'll find all over the net are common characteristics of Aspies; they're by no means universal. I'm an author; I rely on imagination and imagery, and when I was a kid I used to play pretend games all the time (still do, if nobody's around to think I'm being silly). Many Aspies... |

| Thank you all for the welcomes! I guess I should be posting this elsewhere but I have a couple of questions. First, we're looking into trying the gluten free diet.

| My oldest son (now 4) did everything early. He rolled over at 2 months, crawled at 4.5 months, got teeth at 5 months, cruised at 7 months, walked and ran at 9 months. But he did not speak an actual word until he was 2.5 and finally spoke broken sentences at 3 years. (He talked gibberish constantly!)... |
