Katelyn's evaluation is coming up soon and I decided to take some videos of her to bring with us in case she doesn't show her "true colors" at the evaluation. She definitely shows more of her stims, etc., at home, which is why some friends and family members who do not see her in her home environment do not understand that she is most likely on the autism spectrum. This is also why it was difficult for us, her parents, to even suspect anything until we really started looking.
I feel that these two videos capture some of her symptoms (certainly not all, by any means) and I am hoping that it will be enough to demonstrate that she is on the spectrum. Some of the things that you will notice on the videos are perseverations, stims, and strange head, eye and body movements. The first video is 8 minutes and the second is 10 minutes.
