[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 463385, member: 1550"] I'm going to agree with those who say he needs a complete evaluation and I'd start with a neuropsychologist. I have a son on the autism spectrum (high functioning, but it's there) and he has some of my son's behaviors, especially the obnoxious (lol) trait of correcting everybody. Me: It's 7:00. Time to go to school." Him: It is not. It's 6:59. Is your son very literal? Does he know how to have a give-and-take conversation? Did he ever play creatively and correctly with toys? Can he transition from one activity to another with ease? Does he have any obsessive interests? Any strange quirks such as flapping arms, smacking lips, chewing on his shirt, making strange throat noises, repeating what he hears, etc. etc. etc (things other kids wouldn't do). Is he sensitive to food, certain material, loud noise, crowds (these can signify sensory issues). My son would only eat certain foods, insisted that the tags be torn out of all his shirts, would not wear sweaters or hats (even when it was cold), covered his ears when noises were loud (yet HE was loud), and chewed his shirts so badly that half of them were wet. He licked around his mouth so badly (and still does sometimes) that he needs a special cream. He was late in pottying...I think he didn't realize when he had to go. He has a very strong vocabulary and sounds like a "little professor" yet he didn't speak until he was four. He does not hold give-and-take conversations. He either monologues at people or just answers "yes" or "no." Verbally, he can not share his thoughts...he is better on paper. Everything I listed improved with interventions. Anyhow, welcome to the board and hope you find help him. I know you'll get a lot of support. [/QUOTE]
