[QUOTE="SRL, post: 150624, member: 701"] Hi Stefi62, I'm sorry you had to find us but I'm glad you did. We're just parents here so obviously we don't diagnose but I would encourage you to look into Asperger's Syndrome. It's the highest functioning of the Autistic Spectrum Disorders--often the kids look super smart (little professors) because of their speech and topics of interest. It's usually not picked up by pediatricians in their screenings because most developmental milestones are hit. It's likely as you read through it you'll see some traits that fit and others that don't. [URL]http://www.aspergersyndrome.org/[/URL] There's a good article about how to go about getting a referal from a pediatrician here. Even if you decide your son's issues don't fall in this realm, the evaluation process is still valid for other neurological and/or behavioral problems. Let us know if this rings a bell and we'll go from there. Hang in there--we were all the desperate for help moms at some point and things really can get better once you get a grasp of what's going on neurologically and get the right strategies in place.
