[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 40436, member: 1550"] My son was sort of like that when he was little. He'd say "hi" to everyone, but didn't really know how to play. Has your child ever been assessed by a neuropsychologist for maybe high functioning autism/Aspergers? These kids don't get social skills, and need specific training and interventions. It isn't something they learn by watching others or in the conventional ways. They do have low frustration levels, sensory issues, and other kids see them as "weird." Sometimes it can even seem like bipolar cycling when it's not, and sometimes/often kids have both. My Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified son was misdiagnosed with bipolar, but it sounds like your little one has lots of moodswings. Mine had bad tantrums as a kid, obsession (when he gets an idea in his head, he can't get rid of it so we hear about it non-stop, which can lead to crying even now) and other quirky behaviors. He was on Buspar for a while. It didn't really do anything for him. I think he was on it to try to help him sleep, but it was a long time ago and his list of medications is so long I keep forgetting all of them. He's actually better off medications and on interventions. [/QUOTE]
