Autism: What sorts of "problem with her legs?" and how old is your daughter? I am not convinced that autism and leg problems can be associated. I would seek a second opinion as regards the leg issues, and perhaps even suggest a brain mri. Be persistent. If your instincts are telling you something is not right, do not simply accept this doctor's opinion...Seek another.

Autism: Autism is more a communication problem. Lots of children with ASD are ok with motor development.
