[QUOTE="SRL, post: 137009, member: 701"] Given the family history and the behaviors you are seeing, I'd advise you to see your pediatrician and ask for a referal for further evaluation. I'll warn you ahead of time that in this situation they usually refer to a behavioral therapist and that's not what you want. You want a multidisciplinary evaluation, starting with a developmental pediatrician or pediatric neuropsychologist. We also like to see the little ones get speech/language and occupational therapy evaluations, even if you aren't seeing anything because even the most observant parents can miss what they aren't trained in. We obviously aren't diagnosticians here but we can give you some sites to explore. Given the anxiety, selective mutism, and oc tendencies you might want to start here: Oasis, on Asperger's Syndrome--see if this rings a bell for anyone in the immediate and extended family [url]http://www.aspergersyndrome.org/[/url] Sensory Integration Disorder--this can cause kids a lot of problems, including reckless and/or ADHD-like behaviors [url]http://www.tsbvi.edu/seehear/fall97/sensory.htm[/url] Make that a Magical Bug Spray and leave the water out. :) It's pretty typical for a 3 year old to like to water play. Mine would brush his teeth in the toilet if we forgot to latch the bathroom door. If none of this rings a bell, we can give you some other links but this is the easiest to start with. I'm also thinking it would be good to have him evaluated by the school district to see if he qualifies for early childhood preschool. I've heard a lot of positive reports from parents with challenging kids, even when the kids are bright and have good speech skills. Are you familiar with the process? [/QUOTE]
