I think back; she had signs at 6 months old, but I didn't know," Schley said.
The doctor asked if their baby looked at them. Schley said she did. But now, with Alexis as a comparison, she realizes it wasn't really at them. "It was more like she was looking through us."
She babbled, as babies are supposed to do. But not at her parents.
When she played with a toy, she didn't turn to check in with her parents.
Balance and motor skills lagged. If she climbed a few stairs, she'd panic, unable to get down.
She didn't process stimulation well and would often scream in public.
Schley and her husband, first-time parents, didn't add up the clues.
"The first kid, you don't know. It's such a subtle difference," she said. "I didn't really know until I had a normal kid to compare it to."
