[QUOTE="buddy, post: 528999, member: 12886"] Well, of course we can't diagnosis anything as parents but we often do see it before the docs do because we LIVE it and put me on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (austism spectrum disorder) wagon too. I thought it the second you said he couldn't handle the bro singing too...then he had to start it over, he can't really probably process all of the rules that deal with how other people feel and how his behavior impacts other people. The world really may be more about him at this point and it is not because he is rude or just trying to be oppositional and defiant to you.... it is because he likely does not perceive things the same way you do. His reactions in this whole story sound like a child with high functioning Autism (Asperger's or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified which is a child who is sort of on the spectrum but may not meet full diagnostic criteria, or even Autism but just really high functioning). How does he play otherwise? Does he have friends? Does he use toys in a really imaginative way (makes up new names, new scenarios...not the imitative kind of play), does he have any special interests or hobbies or things he focuses on more than other things ..kind of a mini-expert on things?? How was his early development? Language, motor, health? Just some thoughts.... There of course are other reasons these things can be happening but many of us have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) radar (I do after working in the field for 25+ years and having a child with that diagnosis) so that I am sure is why we can see the possibility here. Naturally this is the internet and we are not actually seeing the big picture, but you did a great job of explaining a typical Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) situation! [/QUOTE]
