my daughter who was born in this ddc then pr, repeats thing 500-1000 times a day...non stop, all day long, and if i dont answer her wont stop repeating the same question until i answer, then there is the rocking back and forth...the rocking back and forth also comes when she sees stuff like spirits im assuming...im wondering what i could research

By spirits, do you mean ghosts as is the monster under the bed? I know rocking back and forth could be a sign of autism, but if you say it comes when she is scared at nights, then that just seems like a scared kid trying to comfort herself.

As for asking questions over and over until you answer, that sounds like a typical toddler to me!

Edited to add in that the repeating something 500-1000 times is not typical. To me asking questions until you answer is.

Doesn't sound typical to me, unless you watch a lot of ghost shows.. It's like she is stimming on something.

I do agree with Jennifer, the rocking back and fourth is a sign for Autism.

Edit to add.. Here's a video on Stemming and Autism..

Do you mean the asking the same question until it is answered as not being typical toddler behavior?

Oops - I missed the part about her repeating 500-1000 times a day

No not scary monster under the bed, like for example seeing a black bird on her dresser, waking up to find her in the hallway rocking, waking up to find her staring right at me

Not just questions .....anything and everything, ex: i want juice 30-40 times in a row

First of all ((((HUGS)))). You really need to get her evaluated to see what is going on. The sooner you get things started the better. I am regretting not getting Billy evaluated earlier since there is such a long waiting list for everything.

i mentioned it to her dr the last time i brought our son in for his 4 month check up...and just like i thought bc most drs do this she just said it was a stage....i bought that when she was a year old but now not so much, its getting worse not better, she acts normal other than that, talks fine, not delayed, speech is great, knows numbers etc

I agree with Jennifer.. I would get her checked out by a child psychologist just to see what they say. Maybe she is a "medium" but maybe it's something else. I love to watch ghost shows and I'd say that past year my 5 year old daughter has mentioned something about monsters. I'm now mindful when I watch that stuff around her.

Any updates?

She still acts the same....i know now she sees dead people we are on vacation and she completly freaked out over a spot we visited

Have you made an appointment to have her evaluated?
