[QUOTE="mamanet, post: 226743, member: 6519"] Thank you for the response and your input. I tried to answer all of the questions. How was his early development in these areas: Did he speak on time and appropriately? [COLOR=purple]yes [/COLOR]Did he make good eye contact with both you and strangers? [COLOR=purple]not really and didn't always respond to someone talking to him- however he now does talk initiate conversation with others [/COLOR]Does he know how to interact appropriately with his peers? [COLOR=purple]yes, but isn't able to go with the flow. He has a great imagination but I think he has to direct most of the play. [/COLOR]Can he have a good give and take conversation or does he sort of monologue about his own interests and then space out when it's not about his interests. [COLOR=purple]No - he usually wants to stop talking when we try to talk [/COLOR]Does he have an intense, focused interests that he can tell you everything about (and does). [COLOR=purple]I don't think so -he love playmobil toys - any kind. [/COLOR]Any repetitious, quirky behaviors such as mouth noises, high pitched sounds, arm flapping, rocking, echoing words that others say or that he hears on television, touching himself. [COLOR=purple]He does like to shred newspaper and loves to "cut weeds" by swinging a stick around. [/COLOR]How does he do with transitions? [COLOR=#800080]He is better now but we prepare him and he is doing better with changes.[/COLOR] Does stopping one activity and moving on to another cause raging? It happened more in kindergarten then this year. [COLOR=purple]He is actually doing well with changes and since I took him out of school he has been doing more outside the home. ex. He never liked going to his grandparents house (because of set up of there home is small and there main rooms are all open). However now he will go without a fuss.
