[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 61952, member: 3930"] Thank you so much for the replies. It certainly does help to know I am not alone and that other parents are struggling with similar circumstances. To answer the questions: Did your son himself have any developmental or speech delays? No. He is extremely smart and had good speech and a large vocabulary really early on. Does he have sensory issues (sensitivity to clothing tags, loud noises, food textures, for example)? No. The only thing that might be an issue could be food textures. He is such a picky eater that I am not sure if it is that or a texture thing. I know early on when we would try to give him tylenol and such, he would gag and throw up. Now he can swallow pills without even drinking water. But if you make him eat something he doesn't want to eat, he will gag and throw up. Does he have any worries or fears? None, that I am aware of. Although now that I think about it, when his friend was here for the 4 days, they did crafts with her stuff, but when it came time to use his stuff - he freaked out and said she was going to use it all up and it would be gone and then he wouldn't have it anymore. He was like that when they played with his train table/set. He really freaked out because they changed things around and it wasn't how it was "supposed to be". He is always worried about people taking his stuff and doesn't understand they just want to play with it and they are not going to take it home with them. We haven't really had a lot of children in our home to play until recently. Most of the time he plays in a neutral place (playgrounds, school, the mall, McDonalds). He hasn't really had to share his stuff. He usually does better with younger or older children. Younger children tend to follow him around and do what he wants - he likes to help them and show them what to do. He also doesn't have as much conflict with older children other than they get annoyed with him. He thinks he knows everything and tries to tell everyone the rules - which don't seem to apply to him. We call him "The Enforcer". He can be happy and excited and fun, but his overall disposition is grumpy/negative. [/QUOTE]
