I agree with others, red flags for sensory issues and autism spectrum.


While waiting to get him evaluated, it could be helpful to read about those and try parenting techniques suggested to kids with those issues. I personally also found some success with basic animal training techniques (positive reinforcement, shaping and other operant conditioning methods, even using a clicker as a jest or well, play, my kid like to play he was a dog and loved it, when I trained him together with our dogs. That actually solved some rather difficult daily problems like dressing himself to get ready to go out.)


More than anything, keep in mind that while at this point it certainly is a problem you have to try to solve by parenting, it is not a problem caused by parenting, but a problem that causes problems in parenting. Huge difference!
