My daughter and myself have thought for a long time that my granddaughter has Autism. Almost every time you took her out, she would have bursts of tantrums, walk on her toes and repeat what you’ve said to her.
Found out that the person that wrongly diagnosed her was a trainee and she’s seen a phycholigist who confirmed it.
She does sound autistic. I’m glad you had the diagnosis confirmed.
