[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 6340, member: 1550"] Hi, and welcome. My first thought, because my kid was exactly the same with pottying and echoing, is have him see a developmental pediatrician. He could be on the high functioning end of the autism spectrum. Echoing (echolalia) is a big symptoms. Pottying late is too, however boys tend to potty late. Obsessions with certain things, and animals/dinasaurs is a big one with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids, is another red flag. in my opinion he needs evaluating and interventions and at his age the best bet, again in my opinion, is a university hospital and a Multidisciplinary Evaluation or else a Developmental Pediatrician. If he is on the Spectrum, the earlier the interventions start, the better. And if he's just not developing typically, he still could use the same interventions to bring him to his highest potential. My son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. He's 13 and doing well, but he had lots of early help that continued and still continues. This test below can give you an idea if your child is on the spectrum. I'd pursue an evaluation since he has a lot of red flags. Good luck.
