[QUOTE="Super, post: 551143, member: 15225"] Thanks for the response! No, not shying away! I believe I mentioned the psychiatric evaluation is something we are also pursuing, I know the post was long but it is in there. :) Neuro is definitely a top priority. Occupational Therapist (OT) is just another party we can get involved quickly and start some active work with (getting the neuro stuff done will take quite a while from what I understand from friends with special needs children, and we are trying to be pro-active.) Socially, he did great! He played imaginatively and creatively, and was also happy with directed play. He would lead or follow equally well. The teachers loved him, all the little girls fought to be his girlfriend, the boys were best buddies with him. He took turns, shared, was empathetic to sad or hurt classmates, etc. He had no issues in preschool with interacting with other kids besides the constant need to touch (he would simply want to lay his hand on the back, shoulder or the knee of the kid sitting or standing beside him, or to touch their clothing or hair-bows if they were interesting or textured -- it wasn't "inappropriate" or aggressive touching). So we worked on "personal space" and by the end of the year that had pretty much resolved! Genetics. Ugh. My parents were very, very sick, bad people who had their own reasons for breeding 9 children *shudder*. Both sets of my grandparents, and all of my aunts, uncles, cousins and large extended family on both sides are as normal as you can imagine, so I'm figuring my bio'rents (TM) were just evil. His side of the family, though... definitely some serious issues that were never addressed. AS I found out after I married him, my ex husband was one of a huge family of extremely co-dependent, drug using whack-jobs rife with suicide and jail time. Not the best gene pool there, although finding out any "real" diagnoses would probably be futile - neither side of the family would have been interested in any sort of medical or psychiatric help, so goodness knows what sort of stuff is floating around.
