[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 540004, member: 1550"] Are you sure there are no others strange behaviors? How does he do around loud noise or is he fussy about what clothes he wears? Do certain textures of material or foods bother him? Does he get upset if things are out of order and does he know how to play with toys in an imaginative way? Any strange or quirky behavior such as lip smacking or hand flapping or copying what you say? Does he interact with his little peers, at least liking to play side by side with them? Does he make good eye contact with you and strangers? He is an awfully young little boy... If everything is normal beyond the "I'm not listening" I'd still keep an eye on him, and you will soon see if other problems develop and if this gets better. If there are other things going on, I'd take him to a developmental pediatrician just to be safe. If anything is going on, the earlier it is caught and treated the better the child does. These can be early symptoms of autistic spectrum disorder, however there are many other things to take into consideration. The lack of eye contact and lack of response to his name (because often they are caught in their own world) are common with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). So is dropping or dismantaling toys rather than playing with them. Speech delays are common (or echolalia). Just keep an eye out and see what happens. Don't be concerned yet, but also don't be in denial. Listen to your partner for feedback. [/QUOTE]
