[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 230726, member: 1550"] My son is on the spectrum and his report sounds a lot like my son's did. We were told things like "Oh, no, he's too friendly" "his eye cotact is too good" yada, yada, yada. But he finally got the diagnosis. (it usually takes time) and he really took off after the diagnosis. He got the right type of interventions in school that really helped him and frankly the medications didn't help him that much, although a lot of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are on medications. Try the assessment scale and see. If it's positive bring it to your doctor, however most regular pediatricians don't know a whole lot about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Good luck :) For the record, my son's first diagnosis. were: ADHD/ODD/cognitive disorderNOS/language disorder (This was when he was 3 or 4). He outgrew the language deficit, but still had trouble holding give-and-take conversations. Can your son hold a give-and-take conversation beyond "yes" and "no?" Does he understand social skills and social norms? Has he ever played inappropriately with toys--taken them apart or lined them up or just throw them rather than use them the way they are supposed to be used? Can he make good eye contact with strangers? Does he have any strange behaviors such as making mouth sounds, smacking his lips, high pitch vocalizations, arm flapping, spinning, repeititious flipping on and off lights? Does he seem "out of it" at times, especially not at home, but more "with it" at home and you think "I swear there's NOTHING wrong" and then you go out again and you think, "Ok, he was so normal just five minutes ago..." Can he transition from one activity to another without raging? Does he have any obsessive interests that he likes to talk about and that nobody else cares about, but he talks about them to death anyways? Is he very high anxiety in new situations? Sensitive to loud noise, lights, crowds? These are just some symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). A great rote memory is another symtpom.
