[QUOTE="Mishka626, post: 163300, member: 5393"] I wish he was getting 9.5 hours of sleep! LOL...he has never slept through the night (sigh). SRL...thanks for all the information and questions--it gives me a starting point. I am going to find a new doctor for him because the current one (a very nice GP) just doesn't seem to think there's anything going on. If my 3-year-old was my first child I might think that I was just over-reacting, but I also have an older 5-year-old son. Every child is different (very different!) but this is more than just a difference in personality. Let me see if I can answer some of your questions, SRL. --We have had him screened for Autism and that has been definitely ruled out. --We don't really see any repetitive behaviours, but we do notice that once he focuses on something it is extremely difficult to distract him or get his attention. This has been the case since he was a baby. --His speech seems to be on par with other kids his own age...maybe a little bit advanced. He speaks in very clear sentences most of the time and is fairly easy to understand. --When I say that he is intelligent I mean that he picks up on things very quickly. He knows most of the letters in the alphabet without prompting, can count fairly well, has known all his colors and shapes since he was 2. If he sees something once, he usually has a full grasp of it. --His eye contact is iffy...but I think it's more of a control thing. When he's talking to you he will look directly at you. If he's angry he won't look at you. --As far as family history, I do suffer from intermittant anxiety attacks, but that's been getting better. If there's anything else I don't know about it. ROFL! Just as I typed that he got angry at his brother and just slammed his head against the wall--that's what I get for saying he'd outgrown it ;) Right now, I'm stuck with the problem of just not knowing how/who/and where to get him evaluated for his behavior. Thanks for your responses! [/QUOTE]
