[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 63912, member: 2423"] Rachel, welcome! I assume Max had speech and developmental delays that the various therapies through K were addressing. With those symptoms, social discomfort and a quirky obsession plus the recent increase in aggression, I'd recommend a thorough evaluation with a developmental pediatrician, a neuropsychologist or a multidisciplinary team at a children's or university teaching hospital. We're not doctors and can't diagnosis over the internet, but we can point you in the right direction, and I would not recommend a psychologist, who may concentrate on the behavior rather than the underlying cause behind it. While you may be looking at a mental health issue (anxiety comes to mind) as [i] part [/i] of the diagnostic picture, it sounds much more to me as if Max should be evaluated for an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. The professionals I listed above can evaluate for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Again, welcome. You will find a lot of support here. [/QUOTE]
