Hi Sarah,
thanks for posting a reply I was really hoping you would. Sorry I couldn't work out the pm function but I guess this is aplicable to everyone anyway. My son is turning four next Tuesday. He functions well but has some strange habits that seem to fit with Aspergers or even Autism. He head pats...alot, constantly, he is absolutely obsessive, he can't make friends, he has delayed speech and insane tantrums if his routine is interupted, it just feels sometimes like the lights are on and no ones home. Having said that he does show affection on his terms. I don't know for sure yet as we havn't seen the peadiatrician but you just know when somethings wrong don't you? Anyway, we have an appointment with Dr Pat Ryan and I was sooo glad you said Jillian Ballentyne was so good, she came highly reccomended to me from someone elso so I've already gone ahead and made an appointment with her regardless of what the pead sais. How old is your son? I would certainly love to keep in touch, I've made quite a lot of friend here in Townsville but as I'm sure you'd know playdates with other kids can certainly be challenging sometimes! he usually just withdraws and stands on the out side.
Anyway, enough rambling from me...thanks so much though
