Renee, I have a question about Cait

Renee,
I was wondering if Cait was difficult to diagnois. Ella sounds so much like her. I remember you saying she loves animals and Ella seems to have the same facination. When I point out an animal and ask her what it is she gives me the sound they make instead of naming it. Was Cait sensitive to touch? I had to close my mouth when I read your reply about the fisting because Ella has just begun to walk and she carrys small toys in her hands all the time. Most of the therapists that see jake don't think she had a stroke because there is no drooping on one side of her face and she has no hypotonia which is often common. How was Cait around other kids? Sorry about all the questions but I think I may have a child that could easily be overlooked simply because she's a girl and this happens more often in boys. Ella is a very difficult baby and cries alot compared to Jake at the same age. I know all kids are different but I guess I'm not sure this is all sensory related like I've been told in the past. What made you realize Cait was more than just Sensory?
TIA,
Teresa
