[QUOTE="buddy, post: 517419, member: 12886"] not to beat this to death, but give you added he will not listen... are you sure he WILL not or is he not really able to fully listen. He is really young so it will take time to find out but he could be only getting part of directions. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a spectrum as you know but it also has related conditions and there are some in families who have just the sensory integration parts or just the auditory or language processing issues. So in addition to the neuropsychologist, given the direction following issue, I would go to an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) for an evaluation looking at comprehension of language and auditory/language processing . It may take years to sort that out but it is good to get a baseline and keep the data in case it is very subtle and just showing as behavioral issues now (and in many years may look more like an Learning Disability (LD)). Since you have such good experience and knowledge, your kiddo is lucky you can begin to give him the benefit of checking this stuff out and helping sooner than later. I agree that ODD tells you next to nothing in terms of now to help your very young child. I do believe you that it looks like that though and that it is SUPER frustrating (I lived and live it, so I promise you I know it is crazy making at times). AS for evening vents.... GO RIGHT AHEAD!!!! This IS the place for sure. One thing I love about this board, if we are looking for input then we get it, if we are looking for hugs, we get it, if we are looking for a strong listener (reader) then we get that..... and of course we like to give as much as receive. I hope you can find this a safe haven. You deserve some sisters (and bros...there are some cool ones here) to hang out with and we are here for you. [/QUOTE]
