[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 490295, member: 1550"] I agree 100% with needing to change parenting styles AND expectations. It is so hurtful to do this...like a defeat or an admission of "my child is not like other ones." My "different" son is eighteen and I still have moments where I just wish he was like other young men his age... I would get him evaluated. Since he is so small I would start with the school district and maybe have him see a developmental pediatrician or even a neuropsychologist who evaluates young 'uns. His diagnosis will probably change with time, but if you have something to work with, you can start to get him interventions and help. My son was in Occupational Therapist (OT), PT, speech and social skills class by age three and it did make a big difference once school started and even to this day...he is far more functional than it appeared he would be at first. The earlier this is done, the better the prognosis. I wish you luck, and please keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
