[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 599503, member: 1550"] You're NOT a failure. His brain is just differently wired. You didn't case it and it is hard to parent children who don't think like "typical" children. Throw out the parenting manuals because you need creative help. In the meantime, as I said on the other forum, take him to a neuropsychologist. He's not too young. He sounds A LOT autistic. Many traits. He needs interventions. Early is best :) Speech delays are typical for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids, but they often catch up. It's the social skills that don't. Being friendly is NOT having social skills. A lot of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are very friendly and annoy others to pieces because they can't read social cues and tend to overtalk about their own areas of interest without listening. A common first diagnosis. for an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid is ADHD/ODD. That's because Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids normally hang from the rafters and get frustrated easily and have meltdowns. You could also take him to a university hospital for a comprehensive evaluation by a group of professionals. It is unlikely you will get the right diagnosis. right off the bat, but understanding his problems will help him in school, which is already becoming an issue for him. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
