I've been thinking for a long time that my 7yr old has autism.
She's obsessed with dates and can remember my entire family's birthdays immediately when asked. She remembers my phone number even though she's only seen it once.
She writes her times tables up to 14x all the time and is forever making lists for things.
She's never had a creative imagination even as a baby..
She learned to write early (under 2) and developed early (walking at 10months) she's always had random outburst of anger to the point I had to restrain her when she was a toddler.. Now she just goes inside herself and crys with no explaination.
She remembers things from when she was a baby like it was yesterday
She can't hold a conversation
She's rude but doesn't realise she is doing it, and has no consideration for anyone else's feelings no matter how much I try to explain it.
She's never been able to concentrate on anything fully unless it's maths.
She has had glue ear in both ears which is what we thought all her problems were, had her grommets in a couple of years ago but they have come out now.. She seems to not hear me most of the time and I can say her name repeatedly and she won't respond..
She can't sit still for ten seconds even with bribery of money and sweets (lol)
I'm at my wits end with her she just seems to be so rude disobedient and forever sad I'm wondering if I've mistaken this for just a selfish 7yr old
Please any advice or anything will help!! I don't want to put her through doctors tests etc unless it's necessary!
I feel I can't cope with her behaviour any more!
