[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 553453, member: 14557"] Normal is so very difficult concept. Sometimes it is very difficult to say there is that line between 'normal' and 'disordered' with neurological differences. My difficult child has always been 'bit different', 'his own person' etc. He has never qualified for diagnosis for any neurological disorder, but still he has always been clearly different When young, he had many similar behaviours as your son. Then again my easy child, who is certainly neurotypical, an easy child and socially talented, was having times when transitions were hard, 'funny' things got repeated ad nauseum and separation anxiety was bad. My difficult child is not that far from that line between 'normal' and asperger, but apparently still clearly not-asperger side of it. I have also known kids who had very similar behaviours as your son and who have ended up much more 'normal' than my difficult child. It is very difficult to say anything sure about so young child. Autism spectrum may be something to keep in mind. And it certainly doesn't hurt to try some things that tend to work with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids with him. But he is also very young and it is impossible to say, how he will develop during next few years. He may end up being in spectrum, being near it like my difficult child or in fact quite typical with just little more challenging temperament. [/QUOTE]
