| A lot of what you describe could easily be attributable to her environment being a little rocky. All kids need routine and structure in order to feel secure and stable and to learn well.

| If I wear a skirt, it can't be one that constricts the movement of my legs..I frequently sit with my knees tucked up or "indian style"...and I like skirts, but don't like feeling exposed... I am really glad that a lot of womens clothes are made out of rayon and modal and bamboo......moreso now than ... |

| The only flag that has really gone up for me is that she is a very silent and calm baby most of the time. That is how I was....I notice that she will mimic my singing, but won't really ever try to pronounce any words...She will match my tone when I sing to her though....and that is how my grandmothe... |

| I am in the habit of wearing shapewear because I enjoy the feeling of "compression" and feel sorta naked without it. I like wearing foundation garments that cinch around my midsection,,,I feel like it helps support my posture and keeps me from getting too slouchy......but I like everything else to b... |

I also had distinct issues with Hygiene that only gradually improved with age. I wound up in my first Long-term-relationship when I was barely 16, and he would occa... |

| Well, here's my take on it. Thinking of the people I know who have autism, I see a group of people who are very diverse. They are anywhere from completely independent and self-supporting since the age of 18, to living at home as adults and needing help every day. The people I know who have Asperger... |
