[QUOTE="Angela41, post: 571930, member: 14703"] Mimibear, glad it helped. My brother (in his 40s) has a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis. Several of the men in my family are "quirkish" meaning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) traits with a lot of normal mixed in. Having lived with my brother, I recognize a few traits in my son too, particularly the obsessiveness and anxiety. I bought a book that we love called "The Social Skills Picture Book: Teaching Play, Emotion, and Communication to Children with Autism." It's great because it has pictures and some of the classroom ideas can be adapted to younger kids. There is a chapter devoted to emotional responses, joining in play, etc. I've actually caught my son reading it on his own:) Any kid, autism or not, could benefit from this book (my opinion). Some testing, even at four, could provide some insights. My son took a standardized kindergarten entry test for his private school- he scored in the 4th percentile on an early literacy comprehension (all verbal instructions) even though he knew how to read, and above the 99th percentile in math. It was insightful into how his brain works. [/QUOTE]
