[QUOTE="whoami, post: 126805, member: 4704"] Thank you so much for your replies. I'm really going to try to back off the disciplinary stuff and try to just observe my ds' behavior (objectively??) for a while. Hopefully allowing the interactive dust to settle will help us both get some more clarity. More than anything, I want to do what is best for HIM. Yes, DS sometimes lines up toy cars (he calls it a train) or books (they're paving stones, he says.) He seems to get along well with other kids, but mostly in a toddler sort of way (running, silliness, parallel play). He doesn't like the noise of the vacuum cleaner or loud toilet flushes or any other loud noise, as a matter of fact. It seems to me, though, that at his age (not quite 3) it's difficult to tell the difference between normal and abnormal behavior--probably why kids aren't diagnosed earlier. Two other things that may be helpful to know about DS: first, he is extremely persistent/determined. This has been his primary characteristic since the day he was born. Secondly, he recently went through a big change. Four months ago, our family moved from Hawaii, where DS was born, to the Midwest, where we knew no one. I tried to prepare DS as best I could, but he has had a difficult time making the transition. I will definitely read The Explosive Child and also ask my pediatrician for a referral. In the meantime, I really, really appreciate your input. I'll keep you posted! [/QUOTE]
