[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 232564, member: 1550"] Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? He sounds like he could be on the high end of the autism spectrum/Aspergers. Lining up toys is a big clue. These kids tend to be above average in intelligence, but socially clueless. They may try to make friends, but they annoy other kids and don't know how to do it appropriately. Does he make good eye contact with people, including strangers? Can he transition from one activity to another? These kids can be very volatile until they are getting the right interventions. Here is an article for you to look at.If he is on the Spectrum, medications won't solve the problem. There are very specific interventions that can give these kids wonderful futures. I have a spectrum kid who got a lot of wrong diagnosis. first. He's doing GREAT now. I would NOT trust just a therapist for a diagnosis. Had enough of those and they tended to be wrong because they don't know how to test these kids. If he has this, and I don't know if he does, Aspergers kids tend to get a lot better with the right interventions, as opposed to mental illnesses, which often get worse as the child gets older. I'd look into it. [URL]http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/mental-health-aspergers-syndrome[/URL] [/QUOTE]
