[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 247895, member: 2005"] I believe in mommy insight, so, I would say you have reason to be concerned. With that said, I am in a similar boat with my youngest "Monster". I've even been as far as having him screened by an autism/developmental screener/nurse. She saw the "quirky behavior" and will watch him, (translation, I go back in 6 months). It is strange because my difficult child shows many autistic traits but he clearly has a sense of himself, shows pride in his accomplishments and has a sense of humor from a very young age. Monster doesn't line up toys or flap his hands, yet my mommy gut knows he is on the spectrum somewhere. If you are not sure of what direction to go in, you can get a good idea of what is going on from a developemental pediatrician, others would suggest a neuro psychological evaluation but he seems too young to me (I could be wrong). In my case, I've also been told to contact the autism society in my state for advice/ referral to a doctor experienced with mild autism or dxes that are on the edge. I think somebody even calls them shadow syndromes. I wish you alot of luck in working out your little puzzle, you aren't the only one. [/QUOTE]
