[QUOTE="forkeeps251, post: 463019, member: 12854"] To be honost, I've never thought that autism was a likely posibility, although of course I'm not expert. I do intend to get him every type of evaluation that I can find for him. I've looked up some of the signs of autism, and there are so many he doesn't have compared to the ones he does have (speech delay and screaming). He has never had a problem with eye contact or responding to people. He can be a little shy from time to time, but not that much. He LOVES to be cuddled and held, and he doesn't have any sort of repetative behaviors. I guess the things that could indicate some sort of autism are the speech delay and the outbursts at school. He is a little bit of a loner... he would rather play with a few kids, but if the only option is a big group, he will seperate himself from it (sometimes even hiding), but other times he does OK in a group. He may be a little sensitive to sound, loud noises and especially other kids singing (can't say I blame him there ;-)), but that is about it, and he seems to like music at any volume (he loves music and loves to dance). Mainly though, it is that in most settings, he does fine socially. Kids actually seem to like him, so far... I'm suprised when I got up to the school the number of kids that say Hi to him and call him by name... although he does NOT pay attention to names and actually only knows one kids name so far. I've begin noticing more and more I think there is some sort of stress or anxiety going on, in particular on "bad" days, however I don't know if this is a "cause" or a "symptom", if that makes sense. Is he acting out because he is stressed? Or is he stressed because he is acting out? Hopefully we can get some answers soon. I can't get any sort of appointment for him right now except play therapy, but hopefully if that doesn't help it will lead to something else. The good news is, that he had a good day today!! *phew*!!!! [/QUOTE]
