So the checker at Walmart today asked me if my daughter was autistic. That was really hard for me. I really don't believe it, but I wonder if I'm in denial sometimes. I guess I wouldn't know how to handle it if she was.
She had pinched her finger in the buckle and was not very happy. I had finally given her my phone to try to tied her over until we were done, but I wasn't letting her push the buttons she wanted to. I think because she was upset and wasn't making eye contact with the checker that she thought she was autistic.
She plays appropriately with toys, she has lots of words that she uses. She does request things at times. She is sooo sweet. She sees spirits, I think she always has. She seems to have been in that other world so much she has a hard time connecting with this world. She lets me into her world, but people she doesn't know, she pretty much ignores. If they are trying to get her attention, she may give them one look, but one is all. Once she's seen them, she doesn't need to look again. I think she sees people's energy, so for the most part, she doesn't need to make eye contact with them to know who they are and what they are about.
I guess I'm just venting a bit, hoping for some validation. |
