[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 126764, member: 1550"] I agree with getting an assessment, and I thought of Asperger's too. His great memory reminded me so much of my son. I'm not sure, even if it's Aspergers, that it will get diagnosed yet. Higher functioning autism tends to get diagnosed later and we get the alphabet soup part of it--Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), ADHD, ODD, etc. But at least if you get as assessment, you can start to get help. At his age, I'd go for a multi-disciplinary evaluation. in my opinion a therapist won't be much help as far as figuring out what's going on. They don't do testing. Chances are your child won't understand or respond to regular behavioral methods and you will both just get frustrated. You'll probably need to find out what's wrong (to the best that you can at his age) and learn what works for him without setting him off. in my opinion, I wouldn't spank him. That tends to make our special kids even worse, and gives them the idea that they can hit when they're mad. Good luck and welcome :) [/QUOTE]
