shes five. i doubt most five year olds really understand social queues. your adult understanding is distilled in cultural expectation, and years of behavioural correction.

That she is not an expert socializer at five years old does not indicate shes autistic. There are tens of thousands of confounding variables.

It is one of the many flags/signs/signals/factors (whatever you want to call it) which we are familiar with. There are many more. Yes, some of her peers also have a couple of these, but I haven't met a peer yet (primary peers being elementary school and mom's friends) who has all these as clear as she does. Though I'd say I leave it up these parents (if (eventually) required).
