Answer 1

Sounds kind of like mild signs of autism. Some kids have mild signs of autism but are never actually diagnosed as autistic. Autistic children have a thing about order. They need everything in order, everything needs to be perfect, nothing can change. Talk to her pediatrician because she definitely has something going on that she needs to have corrected. Kids shouldn't throw themselves on the floor when something is out of order. God bless and good luck!

Answer 2

I have a friend, her daughter doesn't like to be touched by other kids and will hold food in her mouth for a long time. She is a GREAT kid however she has sensory issues. It is a common problem kids have, I know quite a few children w/ this. Talk to you doctor and there is help. There is a program called early intervention. They will test her and if she need any therapy they provide it for free and will have therapist come to your house. Get in touch w/ you public school and they can help you out. It don't seem as bad as it sounds. They want to help the children so when they are school aged they will fit in.

She sounds like a (typical) very bright 2 year old. My son had some of these same characteristics at 2. It seems to me the more intelligent a child is, the more "odd" they will be also, my son is/was. Some of their quirks can drive us batty, but fascinate us at the same time as parents. If you're really concerned with certain behaviours, talk to your pediatrician. Otherwise, just go with it. Her need for routine and structure sound like my son also, but they discover new things everyday, so that beloved routine can change rapidly! She sounds just perfect to me...enjoy her, celebrate her eccentricities!

No, no longer yet. A cat will basically divulge this is this is abdomen while it feels completely secure in the homestead. he will sleep with you while he feels completely secure. In different words he's observing out for the recent guy.I wager this new little guy is crammed with spit and vinegar as all kittens are and runs and pounces randomly. Your older cat is basically observing out for himself until he figures out that the kitten is threat free. And bear in mind, the older cat replaced into quantity a million for some years so he may be basically a sprint jealous because of the fact another bushy ingredient is getting interest too. lol supply it time, all will paintings out fantastic.

Answer 5

well, you are very blessed to have a sweety like that. but, I came to realize that toddlers are very moody. like a woman with P.M.S.
and as already mentioned,they are still in the development stage of their personality. and,it sounds like she will be a very spirited, fun & interesting girl.
so just be patient,laugh off some of those cute gestures and write them down in a journal to keep for future enjoyment.

Answer 6

Its normal. Kids change everyday. This means their behavior, personality, growth and so on. She is still growing and learning. She will get frustrated, moody and typical toddler fits will come about.

Answer 7

She sounds like a good kid. If she's two her personality is still developing and it sounds like she's testing you. My girls were a lot like that when they were that age but don't worry, it'll pass.

Answer 8

It could be a mild form
Common Characteristics of Autism
While understanding of autism has grown tremendously since it was first described by Dr. Leo Kanner in 1943, most of the public, including many professionals in the medical, educational, and vocational fields, are still unaware of how autism affects people and how they can effectively work with individuals with autism. Contrary to popular understanding, many children and adults with autism may make eye contact, show affection, smile and laugh, and demonstrate a variety of other emotions, although in varying degrees. Like other children, they respond to their environment in both positive and negative ways.

Autism is a spectrum disorder. The symptoms and characteristics of autism can present themselves in a wide variety of combinations, from mild to severe. Although autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors, children and adults can exhibit any combination of the behaviors in any degree of severity. Two children, both with the same diagnosis, can act very differently from one another and have varying skills.

Parents may hear different terms used to describe children within this spectrum, such as autistic-like, autistic tendencies, autism spectrum, high-functioning or low-functioning autism, more-abled or less-abled. More important than the term used is to understand that, whatever the diagnosis, children with autism can learn and function productively and show gains with appropriate education and treatment.

Every person with autism is an individual, and like all individuals, has a unique personality and combination of characteristics. Some individuals mildly affected may exhibit only slight delays in language and greater challenges with social interactions. The person may have difficulty initiating and/or maintaining a conversation. Communication is often described as talking at others (for example, monologue on a favorite subject that continues despite attempts by others to interject comments).

People with autism process and respond to information in unique ways. In some cases, aggressive and/or self-injurious behavior may be present. Persons with autism may also exhibit some of the following traits.

Insistence on sameness; resistance to change
Difficulty in expressing needs; uses gestures or pointing instead of words
Repeating words or phrases in place of normal, responsive language
Laughing, crying, showing distress for reasons not apparent to others
Prefers to be alone; aloof manner
Tantrums
Difficulty in mixing with others
May not want to cuddle or be cuddled
Little or no eye contact
Unresponsive to normal teaching methods
Sustained odd play
Spins objects
Inappropriate attachments to objects
Apparent over-sensitivity or under-sensitivity to pain
No real fears of danger
Noticeable physical over-activity or extreme under-activity
Uneven gross/fine motor skills
Not responsive to verbal cues; acts as if deaf although hearing tests in normal range.
For most of us, the integration of our senses helps us to understand what we are experiencing. For example, our senses of touch, smell and taste work together in the experience of eating a ripe peach: the feel of the peach fuzz as we pick it up, its sweet smell as we bring it to our mouth, and the juices running down our face as we take a bite. For children with autism, sensory integration problems are common. Their senses may be over-or under-active. The fuzz on the peach may actually be experienced as painful; the smell may make the child gag. Some children with autism are particularly sensitive to sound, finding even the most ordinary daily noises painful. Many professionals feel that some of the typical autism behaviors are actually a result of sensory integration difficulties.

There are many myths and misconceptions about autism. Contrary to popular belief, many autistic children do make eye contact; it just may be less or different from a non-autistic child. Many children with autism can develop good functional language and others can develop some type of communication skills, such as sign language or use of pictures. Children do not "outgrow" autism but symptoms may lessen as the child develops and receives treatment.

One of the most devastating myths about autistic children is that they cannot show affection. While sensory stimulation is processed differently in some children with autism, they can and do give affection. But it may require patience on a parent's part to accept and give love in the child's terms.
