Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 That sounds like a bonus to me! My dd gives me the " i dont know " before I have even finished the question. Lyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Oh yes, our daughter Sara, almost 5 yo is very similar to this. She doesn't look into things in as much detail as your daughter seems to, but very similar. She also knows where everything that she is interested in, is. If she wants something and we can't find it, she'll always know where it is. She also seems to have some sort of amazing radar when it comes to dress-up clothes and Barbies in stores. No matter where we are in a store or how big the store is (even Wal Mart), she will unerringly find the section that contains dress-up dresses and/or dolls. She does this in stores that she's never been in before. She does this on the first try, and with no wandering around -- just pulls us to the spot. I find this amazing. Inna. Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2003 16:27:17 -0000 Subject: Every little Detail My daughter inspects every little detail to everything. The smaller the object the better. She points out things that are in the " background " never really ment to be seen, she sees them. I have to look twice myself and she's usually right. I find myself always saying " Where is the.....? " only to be told where. We'll be getting out of the car at a parking lot and she'll say " Winne the Pooh " I again say where is he? We'll four cars down and two rows over there is the Winne the Pooh sun deflector on a car. Need I even ask her where it is! The other day she said to me dog as she is holding a video. I see a dog in the corner of the video. I pull out the video that was put in the jacket backwards so that the plain side was out. Guess what video it was....101 Dalmations. It was a copy that was made for us. We have many tapes with this same jacket on. She knew even with the tape turned the wrong way which video it was! She amazes me all the time with stuff like this. She knows where all the tapes are. Upstairs downstairs along side the TV or in the storage rack. I couldn't tell you if you gave me $1000. Anyone else have an inspector of every detail in their family? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Talk about Barbie radar! My daughter le, 7.5, PDD, ran off from us at Wal-Mart. She cruised past the bank, snatching a balloon on her way, sending the other balloons ceilingward. Guess which aisle she was found in? Yep, you guessed it, the one with all the pink boxes! Maybe it's a girl thing. Sara le and le's Mommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 - Sondra, Something you said struck a key with me. Visual landmarks. When my daughter was much younger she us to enjoy this particular spot in the road on the way to our house. It went down hill with a bump kind of ride like a slide. She would start laughing in anticipation of the hill before we even got to it. Like a minute or two before. She must have seen some landmark to know it was comming. She was only 2 or so and could barely see out the window. -- In Autism_in_Girls , " Sondra " <hfa2@c...> wrote: > Kassiane, > Liane (author of Pretending to be Normal) is of same she gets lost any > where and every where she to go.
