[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 549871"] Not at all. Actually, that's a great age to be evaluated (by the RIGHT person of course) and get services started. That way a lot of things can be in place so when he starts Kindergarten, he'll be farther along and you can have a better idea of what kinds of problems might need to be addressed by an IEP at the school. Can you give us an idea of the behaviors you are dealing with and as much detail as possible of an incident to put the behavior in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) context? That would help a lot. There will be a LOT of other questions to get to know you and your son better so we can give you better advice and hopefully steer you in the right direction. Emotional Behavior Disorder is typically a "label" the school puts on kids that have behavior issues. It's a category. As for the ODD, yea, most of us have been there done that only to find out it wasn't that at all but was rather simply the symptoms of something else like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Welcome to our little corner of the world. If you stick around, you will get the best, most experienced "EXPERTS" (parents who have walked in your shoes) than you will find anywhere. And the support is phenominal. [/QUOTE]
