[QUOTE="SRL, post: 340366, member: 701"] Welcome geekologie. I've read your post twice and honestly I'm going back and forth on this. My first thought is that if he was fine and daycare and he's fine at home, I'd change preschools first and see if that helps. Preschools vary tremendously in how they do things and maybe this one just isn't a good fit for him. If this is the only red flag, I'd be inclined to try another preschool before scheduling a full assessment. Or maybe he's just not ready for school. Modern American society makes a really big deal of preschool but I can assure you that many generations of children did perfectly fine without it. That being said, his reactions are pretty strong and if something is going on it would be better to learn about it now. How did he do with the transition of moving to a new home? How does he transition with you when you do things like leave home or leave the library? Are you seeing anything else unusual in his behaviors--speech differences (such as delays or very advanced speech?), interests/obsessions that are unusual for his age group, extremely picky about clothing or foods, overly sensitive to sounds or lights?
