Is my daughter showing enough symptoms for me to take her to get diagnosed for autism or aspergers syndrome?I dont remember if she had a speech delay nor tantrums but she used to bang her head on the floor if shes upset or didnt get what she wanted (all her siblings did.) but she was smarter than kids her age when she was 3 and was a fast learner and did academically well, sh even speaks another language fluently! but Ive noticed that shes socially awkward and i thought that shes just too shy and i have to give her a push to go befriend kids her age, she barely talks with them and shes horrible at small talk and when I ask her did you have fun with them? she shakes her head and tells me she doesnt want tot do that again, ever.she has bizarre interests like Spiders, Spider-man, arachnids or rare unusual stuff like names or Cyprine for example, she told me she like its name and that is a precious stone and she also likes some gruesome and/or gross stuff and a normal interest like art, drawing, photographing, comic books, cartoons.. she can go on and on about color shading, blending, smooth lines, rough lines, thick lines, shapes..etc.things that made me suspicious
Hello You have mentioned that your daughter has symptoms of poor social interaction, she spends her time in playing indoor games, she is intelligent than others in some domains, she can notice unusual number plates and she doesn't like that her routine get disturbed. Most likely these are symptoms of Asperger's Syn Chat Doctor.  She can speak and has normal language development, so Autism is very less likely diagnosis. Other possibility that may occur is some form of Bipolar Disorder or some Psychotic Disorder. I would advise you to take her to a good Psychiatrist for expert evaluation and evaluation of IQ. IQ assessment is necessary to estimate her IQ and to rule out mental retardation. Thanks
