Are Toe Walking And Mispronunciation Of Few Letters In Children A Concern?

My daughter is 12, nearly 13. She used to never walk on her toes, she used to pronounce everything right, she used to write and draw neatly and she was never anxious or compulsive. Now she DOES only walk on her toes, she DOES mispronounce Rs, Fs and Ts, she NEVER draws or writes neatly and she is ALWAYS anxious and compulsive.

Pediatrician 's  Response
hi, these can be symptoms of Autism. It is not normal for a child of this age to do these kind of things. I suggest you to get the child examined by doctor as soon as possible. Take care.
