[QUOTE="SRL, post: 126703, member: 701"] The Explosive Child would be a good starting place to help develop a new strategy for parenting since what you are doing isn't working well with him. Be sure and read the thread at the top of this board on how to go about adapting it to younger children. I've had really good success with this as have many other parents here. Given the behavioral struggles that you are seeing along with the description, I'm going to suggest that you do request that your pediatrician make a referral for further evaluation. We are just parents here--not diagnosticians--but I think there are enough red flags here to warrant an assessment. I'm going to give you a few links to research. See if anything here rings a bell. The food stuff could just be a three year old thing but check out Sensory Integration Dysfunction just in case. [url]http://www.tsbvi.edu/seehear/fall97/sensory.htm[/url] Resistance to change, strong memory, interest in mechanical things, difficult behaviors, adult sounding vocabulary/language use, hand flapping--these behaviors would suggest looking into Asperger's Syndrome, which is the highest functioning of the Autistic Spectrum Disorders. Children who demonstrate all of these traits don't automatically have Asperger's, but parents often describe young boys with Asperger's (or a diagnosis in that neighborhood) by including these in their descriptions. What parents usually notice first about their children aren't the symptoms listed on the formal diagnostic criteria which can make recognition and diagnosis difficult when the child is young. It's frequently missed in young children by professionals, which is unfortunate because the earlier the kids get help with their challenges, the better.

We can't diagnose but we can point you in directions to consider, give you info about the diagnostic process, and hopefully get you some help with the difficult behaviors. [/QUOTE]
