Re: Children immitating animals

Hi,
This can be a symptom of Aspergers Syndrome, and is perhaps a possibility to be looked at.

Good luck,

Barry

Thank you!

I'm so glad you mentioned this, as I spoke with someone this week whose daughter has mild Asperger's and also does regular animal imitation when she doesn't feel like interacting as a human. I feel like a puzzle is being assembled, so thank you for your important piece of insight.

Aloha,
Noelani

Re: Thank you!

Hi,
That is fine, being the parent of a child with Aspergers, we know how big and complicated the puzzle can be.
