[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 272575, member: 3907"] Hello Kate, Thanks for being so thorough in your answers to my questions. Again, not qualified to diagnose, but a lot of what you describe in your son's behaviour really does sound autism-spectrum-ish to me. Glad to hear that you're going to seek out a referral to a neuro-psychiatric as that can provide you with a lot of answers, and point you in the direction of the right kinds of interventions for your little one. I can't remember whether other posters have mentioned it yet, but a lot of us have had success with the techniques described in the book [I]The Explosive Child[/I]. If you can get a copy from your local library, you might find that it helps you to deal effectively with your son's behaviour issues, transitions, etc., even while you're waiting for a diagnosis. Keep in mind that a diagnosis is not a death sentence, and not necessarily a curse either. I know that in my line of work being on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum helps me to be successful. There are paths out there for people with all sorts of disorders. The right interventions can help, and you're getting a good early start in finding the ones that work for your family. Trinity [/QUOTE]
