[QUOTE="SRL, post: 296711, member: 701"] Hi techteacher, I'm glad you found us. I seriously could have written your post except mine had tubes at 4 1/2 months of age and showed precocious academic skills. Ugh--I don't think I got a full night sleep until that kid was 6. What I would like to see you do is have him seen by a developmental pediatrician. Sometimes issues like borderline high functioning Autism can cause the sorts of things you are seeing, but frequently it will slip under the radar of the pediatrician and teachers. I wouldn't trust this to the school district to determine. You'll probably have to push your doctor becuase they often just want to refer to a therapist for behavioral help or a psychiatric for medications, but be insistent that something doesn't seem right to you and you want a full evaluation. Are you familiar with Sensory Integration Dysfunction? In hindsight we realized that a lot of the early sleep and eating problems were due to this. Below is a link and if that rings a bell you'll want to pick up a copy of the book The Out of Sync Child by Carol Kranowitz.
