[QUOTE="hope9, post: 602054, member: 16628"] Thanks for your response....it is definitely thought provoking. I will make sure not to minimize his symptoms when I see the developmental pediatrician. I am curious if others have kids with atypical Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)...social kids who have been diagnosed. To answer your questions, yes, he makes eye contact with strangers and seems to like interacting with new people, although he's gotten a little shyer recently. He likes to play by himself and in general is very independent- he can get wrapped up in doing something like connecting two of his trucks with a shoe lace that has somehow made it's way into the toy collection...but he also likes to run and dance and do stuff with other kids in the playground. But he is more often doing things on his own. He is also fairly creative in his play and in general- he does like to repeat things he's seen on his favorite show, but he also likes imaginative play and had recently been enjoying pretending to bake a cake and serving it (we have the melissa and doug one with the candles). Anyway, it's not a clear cut case for anything yet- ADHD (he's hyper and active and frustrate easily but can focus on a task), ODD, or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I guess the first step is seeing the devel pediatrician, right? [/QUOTE]
