[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 179813, member: 1550"] Im thinking Aspergers too. Of course, I don't know, but the echolalia (ability to recall and spit out anything he hears) is a big symptom of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I would take him to a neuropsychologist. My son has high functioning autism. It seems to become more high functioning every year BUT he had tons of early interventions WAY before he was even two. He could read at age two...memorized the words. He would echo back entire programs that he watched. We found out later, though, that he didn't really necessarily understand what he echoed at us. He also had an early fascination with letters/numbers...that is also an early sign. Since kids who are Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can turn out so well and are often so bright, and act out mostly out of frustration, interventions are imperative as early as you can get them. I would go to a neuropsychologist and have him totally evaluated. This is a kid with a lot of potential who can be helped, but you have to get down to the root cause of his behaviors. Of course, since there is mental illness on the family tree...those will also be taken into consideration. Good luck on your journey. [/QUOTE]
