[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 221094, member: 2423"] Welcome! From your answers, it sounds as if your son has some red flags for an Autism Spectrum Disorder, possibly Aspergers. The trouble making eye contact, the adult-sounding speech and the difficulty socializing that your friend has observed are all clues. It would make sense for you to schedule an evaluation with a developmental pediatrician, a neuropsychologist or a multidisciplinary team at a children's or university teaching hospital.

In the meantime, I'd recommend starting the IEP process in your son's new school by sending a letter certified mail requesting a "[COLOR=#000000]full and initial evaluation in accordance with IDEA be conducted to determine if difficult child is eligible for special education and related services."[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Good luck.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
