I can always tell when DD1 is sick

Because she starts to act more typical. 

I know this has come up before. DD1 was slightly warm this morning and has been coughing. This afternoon, I noticed how much more fluid her speech was, how she seemed to be just a little sly and humorous and more animated than usual -- and looked a little funny around the eyes. Fever at 102.7, cue the ibuprofen. 

Sigh. It's not a huge difference, and mostly seems to be faster processing than she normally does; but it's enough that it makes me feel like it's kind of glimpse at what she'd be like without ASD.

    Yup, us too. Sometimes in the morning, too, when he wakes up and is still tired, I find DS to be much more "fluid" as you say, and his voice drops in volume to a typical level. I remember in the Temple Grandin movie when she was in the squeeze machine her roommate commented that her voice was quieter when she was in it.
