[QUOTE="frustrated440, post: 77804, member: 4091"] Thanks for writing Mrs. Smith. So far I dont see much sensitivity to anything. He does get cranky if he is hungry or tired but that seems pretty typical for me because of his age. As far as touch or light goes he also doesn't seem bothered by either. I know how broad the spectrum is and have also worked with- a child with- asperger's. That child knew everything about Star Wars and I mean everything, lol. He also had the noise sensitivities and spoke very adult for his age but in a monotone. Whatever is going on with- my son seems so mild that everyone I have taken him says the "wait and see" thing. However he is starting regular speech and Occupational Therapist (OT) next week. The speech therapist thought he was very clear when he spoke. She did notice some repeating but he also had spontaneous speech as well. She said she wants to work with- me and show me some things that I can do with- him at home. The biggest concern is that and I guess his coping ability. He is a very loving little boy but at preschool when the teacher would ask something of him, he would just whine or cry. He very much just wants to play with- the kids and toys. I've only ever taken him to a play group before and I know that he has no concept of what school means.
