Hi, my daughter is nearly 4 and looks like she has autism. It was her dad's 40th bday today and I'd arranged a surprise party. I was a bit concerned how she'd react to lots of people, she gets very shy and quiet and if people come up to her she worries. Today she was so happy and smiley with everyone, she was sitting with others members of family who she hadn't seen for well over a year!, she was running around and playing with balloon aswell. She was so happy and relaxed. just wanted to say how proud I am of her handling what could have been a stressful few hours.
