[QUOTE="SRL, post: 51640, member: 701"] "Static" means not moving so if developmentally he was the same at 2 as he is at 5, then that is reasonable but it's not a very informative diagnosis. What we are suggesting is that you want to go further and find out WHY. I'm definitely not an expert on this disorder (or any other for that matter) but if this was my kiddo and there was an underlying cause then I would want to know what it was. SE looks as if it could be the result of a number of different neurological issues including fetal alcohol syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, various genetic disorders, etc. It's possible you could find out the answer and find yourself already on the correct treatment path but it's also possible that changes could be in order. For instance, children with some genetic disorders require dietary changes to minimize the effects. I would call your pediatrician to discuss the diagnosis. Tell him/her that you want more answers: determine the reason for the SE, confirm/rule out sensory and motor skill problems, and get a thorough grasp on strengths and weaknesses. S/he could order an MRI, but I'd also suggest asking for a referral to a pediatric neuropsychologist as well as a complete Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation including a swallowing test and get your pediatrician's suggestion on the best route to go (which might be where you just were). About the movie, personally I feel very strongly that children with aggressive/violent tendencies should be sheltered from aggressive/violent/imitatable activity on all screens. It's not an easy choice to make but it made a huge difference for my difficult child. We had a total ban for a good number of years then eventually we were able to gradually allow him more of the kinds of things his peers could handle, but only if he could keep his own aggression in check.
