[QUOTE="steph3306, post: 290658, member: 4944"] The last two years he has been in a preschool for children with disabilities. They have had him on a picture schedule. He is very verbal(so they tell us) but still can not communicate like a normal 4 year old would. He repeats a lot of things he hears but will use it in the right way. He doesn't turn 5 until Aug. and will start kind. in Aug. The preschool teachers all recommended he go to Kind. because they said he has learned everything he can learn in preschool and they think he would do better in a structured learning program. For kind. he will be in a one on one classroom. He is very intelligent but like someone said he has no understanding of common sense things. He can count to almost 100, knows 30 to 40 sight words, he knows how to google on the computer, he tried buying a game with my credit card on the comuter, he can have a book read to him twice and he will have it memorized. Academicaly he is way ahead except he can't/wont write but he will type on the computer. At home he seems angry all the time. Everyday I fight to get him on and off the bus. we take him for a bike ride to burn energy and he doesn't want to stop and will throw a fit for a good hour when we make him stop. He screams when he wants attention or is trying to say something. He is constantly on the go and bouncing off the walls. He never tires until around 8 or 8:30 at night and then he will go to sleep. Everything is a constant battle with him. Since he was a baby he has been behind 6 months to a year. We have NO understanding of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or ADHD. We see a neurologist but they only spend maybe 10 minutes with us and out the door we go. Where we live there is only one behavioral Dr. and it takes over a year to get in. A new behavioral doctor just came to town and I am trying/calling everyday to try and get him in with him. Is there some other field of Dr's or therapist I could look into that specializes in autism?
