[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 535364"] I am VERY glad you found us. You will find the parents on this board very supportive and maybe (LOL) somewhat helpful. It's great that you have an appointment with a developmental pediatrician. Hopefully they are good and thorough. One other recommendation I have is to have a THOROUGH evaluation done by an Occupational Therapist. It sounds like he has a lot of sensory things going on and they are the ones to figure them out. You might also check into having him check for auditory processing issues. With the repeated questions, it could be that he's not processing what he hears properly OR it could be that he is just that unsure of things. Auditory processing can be tested and would rule it in or out. Since he's 4, you could also request that your school district do a thorough evaluation for Early Intervention services. That request needs to be sent in writing to the Director of Special Education in your district. We HIGHLY recommend you send it Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested. That starts a federal timeline for them to get the evaluations done. The more info you have before he actually starts school, the better the services could be to make him successful once he gets there. Just out of curiosity, are there any mental health issues on either side of HIS family tree? Include things that might be suspected but not diagnosed as well as those that are confirmed by professionals. Again, you have come to the right place. Welcome to our little "family". [/QUOTE]
