[QUOTE="SRL, post: 214983, member: 701"] It's highly unusual for a child of this age to tune into the alphabet, numbers, words, and addresses. I'm going to suggest that you look into something called Hyperelxia, which is a condition when kids have an innate ability to decode language. It's often--but not always--associated with Autistic Spectrum Disorders. Before you automatically rule out that possiblity due to the fact that he's social, I would suggest keeping open to the possibility because at age 3 a child can be social but it's too young to determine whether they will automatically pick up on being socially appropriate later on. Most parents of Hyperlexic children begin by thinking they're simply brilliant and often times doctors miss it entirely. Children in this neighborhood neurologically will often have very extreme reactions to big changes such as a new school, move to a different school, or new baby in the house. You might find something that rings a bell about the tags and noises here: [url]http://www.tsbvi.edu/seehear/fall97/sensory.htm[/url] We're just parents here so obviously we can't diagnose, but hope to point you in the right direction to find the help you need to get your child on track. I would suggest if your concerns persist and enough rings a bell here that you schedule an appointment with your pediatrician to discuss a thorough evaluation. [/QUOTE]
