[QUOTE="SRL, post: 148255, member: 701"] Hi Sparkler. Tiredmommy is right--you'll fit right in here. My difficult child's escapades included brushing his teeth in the toilet, dumping hot pepper into a glass of water to give to his toddler sister to drink, swigging almond extract, eating crayons whole (it was green), markering his chest Indian war paint style, writing words on every conceivable surface (once he wrote "Closed" on my kitchen wall--I wish), rubbing Vaseline into the carpet, etc, etc etc. I got to the point where I seriously didn't leave him alone even to go downstairs to switch a load of laundry. Kids with the mechanical skills you are describing in yours often have very high appitudes in the visual-spatial areas. Given how precocious he is, you might want to take a peek at Asperger's Syndrome and see if anything there rings a bell. I know you said he's very social but does he talk about typical 4 year old boy topics with peers and adults? [URL]http://www.aspergersyndrome.org/[/URL] Is he reading? [/QUOTE]
