If she's feeling something, you'll know about it.
...also contrary to this, she was diagnosed at her first paediatric assessment when she was 3, within about 15 minutes  . She does have additional support needs though, mostly language-based at this point it seems, so that makes diagnosis much more straight forward. |
I recall watching a 45 minute documentary on autistic babies !!
It was possibly about 10 yrs ago .
As I recall ( it’s all very vague ) there were about 8 of them in the study , they were about 12 months old and each one’s parents were BOTH autistic .
The only part I can remember clearly was that they all took turns to be placed in a high chair and were wired up so we could tell exactly what their eyes were focusing on ... they were then shown a series of clips of older children speaking to the camera ..
Anyways they ALL focussed on the the children’s MOUTHS rather than their eyes ..
