[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 547080, member: 1550"] Well, he probably has sensory issues and in my opinion could very well have a high functioning form of autism. Many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are fascinated with numbers and letters and even sight reading at very early ages, making us think they are little geniuses. They are very good at remembering things by rote. :) They also don't care to be touched sometimes due to the sensory issues that go with it. This particular diagnosis is hard to get in a little one and you will probablyl get an ADHD/sensory integration disorder diagnosis. and that's ok. If it leads to services in school and in the community, that is what you want. Does he have trouble transitioning from one activity to another? Does he ever cover his ears when it's noisy, yet yell himself and make a lot of noise? Is he inappropriate with his little peers, such as (as reported) hitting, pushing, getting too close, refusing to share, playing more beside other kids than with them? Any obsessions or strange quirks? Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) c hildren are VERY literal, such as refusing to move if the coach says "Stand there." They take this to heart!! My son also likes lists and still has them and is VERY precise and gets upset over silly things. If I say, "Hurry, it's 8:30" he says, "Actually, it's 8:29." He uses big words and always did. Your boy just screams "Aspergers" at me...lol. However... I am not a doctor. We are all mothers with opinions so I would take him for a neuropsychologist evaluation. The accuracy of his diagnosis is limited at his age, but he clearly needs some interventions in school and this is the best way to get him the free help that they have to offer him. If he is a spectrum kid, conventional parenting probably will not work on him. You need a professional's help. Welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
