Also, as one fellow autism redditer (autism.reddit.com) reminded me- people on the spectrum are not completely static. They change and grow, even if it doesn't always seem like they will. Thanks for reading.

I just attribute it to her development (and thank goodness for that).

I'd pretty much agree with your hypothesis - my daughter clearly had something going on from day one, I think it's a genetic predisposition that was affected by... well, really,who the hell knows what but like you, I can come up with a variety of possibilities. Since I've had 8 years to observe my child, and maybe also because I'm somewhat pessimistic, I tend to think that she just "developed" out of many of her autistic-like behaviors. That's why they call it a developmental disorder. Their development is just disordered but I am confident our kids can get to the same place or maybe at least a similar place as other kids. They just have a whackier route. I have so many other comments I could make but I'm happy to read your blog, glad Ruth connected us! Take care - you are doing a great job!christenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969389137513722026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313645482476477590.post-69798986159486452652011-02-11T00:05:28.307-05:002011-02-11T00:05:28.307-05:00P.s.s.
