Still waiting for a phone call to set appt to diagnose my 23 month old
My daughter loves to play with me and copies everything I do. I could have sworn she said good morning to me twice the other day, and I almost cried. She is starting to say bye-bye a lot more and wave bye to her older siblings when I drop them off at school. She listens when I tell her to give me things she’s not supposed to have, and it almost sounds like she’s saying thank you. Lol. She has a speech delay. She’s only said mama a few times to me but not very often. She loves to sit next to me and jump on my lap and stare right at my eyes and laugh. She’s a very playful, affectionate baby girl, and I love her big hugs she gives me. She raises her arms up when she wants me to pick her up. She goes into the pantry, turns on the light, and grabs her own snack, closes the door, and comes to me smiling, wanting me to open it. If she forgets to turn off the pantry light and door, she will make the “oh” sound and run back to do it and then comes back to me smiling. Then she loves to sit next to me and eat it and always looks at me constantly smiling. She lacks pointing though. she does it when she wants, not very often, but does it. She does look when I point though. I guess my question is, are kids in the spectrum affectionate? She always wants to be picked up by her dad or siblings. She climbs up to her brother’s bed and loves to lay with him. She is very cuddly.
