 I've always been somewhat speculative about whether my daughter possesses some level of autism. She becomes obsessed with certain things, like a particular song that she'll play on the piano for days (sometimes weeks) on end, or perhaps a painting that she'll try to copy herself to near perfection. She's becoming surprisingly good at playing chess as well. My mum has been teaching her how to play recently. I'll have to get her tested at some point.
