[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 569551, member: 8831"] i think maybe the teeny red flag is not that he isnt social, but the appropriateness of that social interaction. which certainly can look like a spectrum issue. but can also look like a lot of other things...namely, anxiety. with the (i assume, disregard if it doesnt fit) holidays coming, school break, unorganized school days with parties, assemblies and weird assignments like "what do i think the holidays mean" or "what am i going to do over the break", and unscheduled, well meaning teachers whipping out candy canes as a treat....it can kick into high gear, even if undiagnosed. but with the exception of life threating behavioral changes, i wouldnt necessarily put too much stock in any minor ramp-ups this time of year. typical kids are a whirlwind of chatter, anxiety and inappropriateness before a major holiday. i would watch carefully to see if this is a noteable change well into january (give him time to setting back INTO the normal routine) and then decide if its cause for concern. i'm not saying he gets a free pass, and certainly should be redirected if he can be, but i do think everyone needs to consider all of the contributing events and stress that come with them.
