I can't wear wool socks. Is that it? Yeah, there's certain things that for what I can't explain why, but it's just as horrible to me as nails on a chalkboard, like hearing that sound. And again, my daughter doesn't seem to have any of that. Or if she does, we haven't noticed it yet.

She's at the stage where like she won't eat anything but pizza and macaroni and cheese no matter what. So I'm not sure if that's autistic or just her being seven. I know I went through that early on. I had trouble with different colors of food. I still to this day, like if you put a plate in front of me, I eat everything one at a time.

So I will eat the protein, then I will eat the potatoes, then I will eat this, you know, where somebody else might just kind of pick it, everything individually. Not necessarily a problem, just something that's different.

I mean, a lot of, I tended to go off on my own if that sort of thing happened. Like I could feel it coming on and I tried not to let it happen in front of other people. My daughter, we saw that also very early on. But at the time, we didn't know what it was. Is this a two-year-old throwing a temper tantrum, or is this something bigger? It's tough to tell.

When our teacher started telling us that she was shut down on the playground because her friends didn't want to play whatever game that she wanted to play or didn't want to finish, like they were acting out a storyline and they didn't want to finish, and she would curl up in a ball

on the grass we knew that there was something there and again she's received a lot of a lot of help and support along that and she doesn't do it anymore you know so she doesn't know that she's autistic she doesn't know that there's anything different about her which i think at this stage is good she had a little problem and you know she worked through it with the adults in her life yeah i think that's really good i mean i've always believed that let a kid be a kid for as long as they can be a kid so as long as she's learning growing i think that's the way it should be and eventually

Yeah, and that's definitely what we're seeing. And her friends, even at this age, they don't notice it at all. I don't think that's going to change. Whereas when I was seven, the kids definitely noticed it. They made fun of me. They wouldn't talk to me or whatever. I don't know if it's a generational thing and just kids are different these days. I don't know if it's the particular school she's at.

I'm grateful that she's not going through that, though.
