Sounds like it could Autism to me too. There are so many forms of Autism, and being a child with Autism doesn't make you stupid, you just have to learn how to overcome the things that bother you. Also could be Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

A health visitor shouldn't really say this too you, when we had concerns over Thomas who was 3 she said it needed a professionals opinion and i know health visitors are but they are not qualified to say autism or not, if she has no other problems i don't know why she would state autism, although autism has many signs liking routine is only one of a sign, there are so many others like for Thomas No speech No eye contact No desire to play with anyone likes being alone dislikes cuddles I would look more towards OCD and not autism, but talk to your GP about this

I would look into Autism if I were you. There are many people who are Autistic but are still highly functioning, take for example the lead singer of 3 Doors Down, he is Autistic. She may have a form of Autism and the quicker you diagnose it and work with her the better you and she will be able to handle it!! =) Good luck!

Maybe she has always had the same routine since she was a baby, maybe something is about to change, like getting a new baby, and she wants everything to be the same. Autistic kids apparently can't tell other people's emotions, and look to the side of your face instead of looking straight at you.

It could be a sighn of Asperger's syndrome which is a mild form of autism but just this symptom alone doesnt mean anything. how does she interact with other children socially? does she have any obsessive interests? does she have any sensory issues? here is the criteria for asperger's syndrome DSM-IV DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR ASPERGER'S DISORDER A.Qualitative impairment in social interaction, as manifested by at least two of the following: (1) marked impairment in the use of multiple nonverbal behaviors such as eye-to-eye gaze, facial expression, body postures, and gestures to regulate social interaction (2) failure to develop peer relationships appropriate to developmental level (3) a lack of spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people (e.g., by a lack of showing, bringing, or pointing out objects of interest to other people) (4) lack of social or emotional reciprocity B.Restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities, as manifested by at least one of the following: (1) encompassing preoccupation with one or more stereotyped and restricted patterns of interest that is abnormal either in intensity or focus (2) apparently inflexible adherence to specific, nonfunctional routines or rituals (3) stereotyped and repetitive motor mannerisms (e.g., hand or finger flapping or twisting, or complex whole-body movements) (4) persistent preoccupation with parts of objects C.The disturbance causes clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

What makes me laugh about these types of questions 'one' thing that's seems autistic people jump on that fact of it being autism, not always the case and no one here should say that your not doctors and you don't know the child

Autism most likely. Take your child to a psychologist for an evaluation and see the school psychologist too.

So, have her tested for Autism. It could be that she just likes to be very oganized.
