[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 330505, member: 1550"] It's common with spectrum kids too. They want to socialize but have no idea how to do it appropriately so they aren't appropriate, but they try. Also, they like to touch everything due to sensory issues. I would let the doctor see him in action. Unless he shuts down with unfamiliar people. Does he ever play with toys? Does he play appropriately with toys or does he dismantle them or just shake them or line them up? I strongly agree with smallmom not to try to charactorize it and bias the doctor. Let him determine what the behavior means. You could mischaracterize your child's intentions and send the diagnosis in the wrong direction, which can be very bad for the child. I try never to influence the diagnostician. I hope you can get things going in the right direction soon. I know first hand how frustrating it gets when you can't get a diagnosis and adopted kids that don't come with detailed histories are puzzling for clinicians and harder to diagnose due to a lack of genetic info.
