Need more informatio: Your question raises questions before it can be answered well. Does she eat or drink? If not how is she fed? Did she develop normally? Walk talk etc in a normal fashion? She may have some sensory issues where she has a problem with the texture of foods...It is best if she sees someone who can help you get more answers.
