[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 356419, member: 1550"] Actually in my opinion it sounds like Aspergers Syndrome in which obsessions are a big thing as are irrational fears. in my opinion it sounds like more than ADHD. This is Autism-light and is a neurological difference, not a mental illness so I would have him see a neuropsychologist rather than a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists often miss this...they certainly did with MY son. Your son is lacking maturity and social skills, another huge red flag. I'd look into it. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. I will link you to a forum about Aspergers so you can read about it. Please remember that no child with Aspergers exhibits every symptom. If he had a speech delay, regardless of poor hearing, he may have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified instead. Most kids have unclear speech if their hearing is bad, but don't have an actual delay in talking at all nor do they grunt or just point (my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) did this though). Well, here ya go: [URL]http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/tc/aspergers-syndrome-symptoms[/URL] [/QUOTE]
