[QUOTE="TBird, post: 353811"] Thank you for the reply and I'll definitely take it under advisement for a more specialized evaluation. In answer to your questions: There is no substance abuse on either side; my nephew has been diagnosed with ADHD and a sensory disorder (and he has learning disabilities that go with that, unlike my son); he does avoid eye contact when speaking unless you remind him; his speech is normal; he shows affection appropriately; transition times are difficult at times... when he is doing something he enjoys, he doesn't want to stop, and that can trigger a fit; he plays with toys appropriately for a boy (he likes gijoes and transformers, cars, etc); no repetitive or obsessive interests that stick out in my mind; he can memorize a commercial, cartoon, book after minimal study (it amazes me sometimes the things he remembers); when asked about his behavior after can tell you what he did wrong and what needs to be done better; he does have a couple of classmates that he considers friends and plays appropriately with at school; he has a great imagination, which also can be a problem because he has a story or excuse for many things. Thanks again for the reply and I look forward to hearing more input. [/QUOTE]
