[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 349834, member: 84"] Your little guy is only 7. Not surprising they aren't as yet picking up on this at school yet. Travis' didn't stand out until around age 8 or so......By age 9 I had a teacher contact me about his social issues, and this was when no one was familiar with autism....she knew there was a huge problem, she just didn't know what it was. As he grew older it became more and more impossible to ignore, and then downright obvious. Another thing complicating it was that Travis always did fine with adults or very small children. It was kids his near his own age he had the most issues with. The very young don't notice when you don't get social cues, and adults tend to excuse it until you reach a certain age. I on the other hand knew from the get go there was a major problem. But it took forever to find the right docs to listen, the rest......well, I swore if I heard "he's just being a boy" one more time I'd deck them. lol Not saying your difficult child is autistic, but he does seem to have quite a few of the traits/behaviors. Worth checking out. Hugs [/QUOTE]
