[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 188884, member: 1550"] I would take him to a developmental pediatrician. He has some symptoms of high functioning autism, especially the sensory stuff and speech delay. They are confusing kids--some are very accelerated in some areas, yet they don't "get it" in others. Does he like to be hugged? Eye contact with strangers good? Play appropriately with toys? Line anything up? Any strange vocalizations (like high pitched sounds) or arm flapping or anything he does over and over again sometimes? Can he relate appropriately to his peers (I know he's young, it's hard to tell at this age). Can he transition from one activity to another or does that make him cry or freak out? This is important because so much can be done for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids, but the earlier you start interventions, the better it is. I'd at least check it out. My son is on the spectrum. His first diagnosis was ADHD/ODD, but that really wasn't the whole thing. He also had sensory issues and even to this day won't touch foods of certain textures. He had speech issues until he was four and was very strange...lol. He's a great fifteen year old now--a lot less strange. Welcome :) [/QUOTE]
