[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 170351, member: 1550"] Just a note (thanks for the explanation). First of all, I've raised five kids (youngest is twelve now). The only one who was overly defiant was my autistic spectrum kid. Most kids who are two may have a short meltdown, but it doesn't last for a long time or turn violent nor do most kids really act up, even at two. It's their first quest for freedom, but it doesn't usually extend to being THAT difficult--if it feels over-the-top, it probably is. Since I had kids to compare my autistic son with, I *knew* he was not a "normal" type of defiant. I knew something else was going on too. ADHD/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have similar traits, however it's kind of like ADHD carried to the extreme. An extremely precocious vocabulary is kind of a red flag for Aspergers. They talk like "Little Professors." Anyway, glad you're going for the neuropsychologist exam. [/QUOTE]
