I thought it was the 4 year old. Thanks for clarifying. 2 is even less able to express verbally.
Do you or your W have experience with ASD? I forget what her field is. I'm not knocking your pediatrician or peds in general, I work with them daily, it's just that when I want need my appendix removed, I want someone who operates several times a week. When I want an expert opinion, especially in MH issues, I want the person who works with and treats daily. We made some mistakes early on in our OCD journey.
One of the most helpful things I've learned in this process is to think outside of my box, have beginner's mind. To not go into conversations or situations thinking I know the origin or the outcome. To see things with fresh eyes and not rely on the "story" in my head that shuts down my brain. To look at all situations from a compassionate place.
I wish you all well. ((( )))

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
