[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 205906, member: 1550"] My son could sight read at two. He had no idea what he was reading, but he'd memorized the words. It is called hyperlexia and is very common with kids on the autism spectrum. With your older son as an Aspie and your younger son having a lot of traits of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), I'd have him tested. I prefer a neuropsychologist. He probably overreacted to what a "typical" child would when faced with an enclosed space, lights, etc. (poor kid) because he is likely on the spectrum...and those kids do NOT do well in those situations. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behaviors are the norm with kids on the spesctrum too. Sounds like the incident triggered some regression. Is your son in any Early Childhood programs to address the issues? My son did really well in those programs. At 15, it is clear that his early interventions really paid off big. His Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is no longer as big an issue as it was when he was a toddler. I'd take your son to a neuropsychologist if he were mine plus knowing what I now know. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
