[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 82510, member: 1550"] I would take him to a Developmental Pediatrician. Although he is probably too young to get "labeled", he can get interventions. Sounds like he has red flags for autistic spectrum disorder, high functioning. My son also had a fascination with letters and numbers, tantrums, couldn't transition, had sensory issues, and was just a bit "strange." The stuff he is doing, in my opinion, do not sound like mood disorder issues, at least not by themselves. I'd get him evaluated and keep watching him---diagnoses change. But you can get early interventions that will help him forever. in my opinion you should call your Early Intervention Childhood Center, usually just your school district. You may not know technically what is going on for a long time so it's good to be proactive and start early. MY son is fourteen now and nothing seemed THAT unusual until he hit about fourth grade. Then it became apparent that he was not your "typical" child. I'm glad I'd done the early interventions or he probably wouldn't be functioning at such a high level. Pediatricians told me "you worry too much." If you can, I'd actually contact a neuropsychologist. They are trained to look for disorders and do extensive testing, although NO testing can be 100% accurate, especially for a two year old. [/QUOTE]
