[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 586879, member: 1550"] Where you are going, wherever that is, get a neuropsychologist evaluation. I doubt this is due to any sort of childhood mental illness. I'm thinking more along spectrumish behavior. It's so very much like lots of kids here who are on the spectrum at that age. And it can be helped with the right interventions. I don't think pediatricians do a very good job at diagnosing neurological disorders/faulty wiring in our kids. They often just pass the buck or hope it will go away, which usually doesn't happen. I'm afraid that he won't make it in a regular preschool right now. He probably needs a school for kids with special needs and interventions. A ninety minute assessment can't tell anyone much. Neuropsychs generally test 6-10 hours and in all areas. He doesn't need to have a low IQ to have a rather important problem that needs fixing and won't go away on it's own. Good luck and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
