[QUOTE="kkenley, post: 312752, member: 8212"] The specialist we are seeing is a peditrician who specializes in behavioral issues. Not sure of her official title. I've heard very good things about her. His speech is very much like an adult... Very good grammar and huge vocabulary. He picks up stuff from other peoples conversation and later will tell me all about it. For example... He was bitten by a rattlesnake earlier this year and had to go to the er. About a week later my mom told him to be careful and watch out for rattlesnakes. He told her " gu, there are snakes that are the same color as a rattle snake but they don't have rattles and they are dangerous. They are called bull snakes. They're good snakes". I have no idea where he heard that. He loves cars.... He will spend hours racing them and lining them up on his bed and his "kids" ride in them He doesn't seem to have issues with food texture, but his clothes can drive him crazy. And he frequently tells me his car seat is tipping him and it's going to make him fall. The sleep medications are helping and I'm seeing a slight improvement in mood. Still very busy and distractable but he is a three year old and my first so not sure how much of that is outside of normal if at all. Back when the sleep issues started getting bad he was complaining that his heart hurt (chest pain). The docs did not find any cause and no heart rate increase etc. Not sure if maybe it was anxiety related? I just feel like medication should be a last resort. He's not in any physical danger.... The not sleeping is the biggest issue I have. I feel that he needs to sleep to stay healthy. [/QUOTE]
