[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 313901, member: 1550"] I would check him out with a neuropsychologist or have the Multi-Disciplanary Evaluation. Sounds like he has some sensory issues, but that is always a big red flag for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (autistic spectrum disorder/Aspergers/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified) and, since this is often missed in young kids, you really need somebody who understands what to look for. A speech delay or speech problems are often another big sign (although not with Aspergers), plus obsessing over certain things (like the weather or dinosaurs), poor eye contact with strangers, strange toy play or no toy play (lining up toys, dismantling toys, not really using imaginative play) and not relating well to same age peers. And, of course, the sensory stuff. Without a total private evaluation, I wouldn't put him on medications. You really aren't sure what you are dealing with yet. Good luck, whatever you decide to do.
