[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 540454, member: 1550"] Hi there. My first question is where do you live? Various countries tend to diagnose certain disorders in different ways in spite of the DSM. Secondly, no way Jose would I trust a nursery school teacher or any educator to even guess at a diagnosis. They are trained to teach, not to diagnose and they are not usually very good at it. Thirdly, in spite of his young age (I've had five kids pass that age), he does not act like a typical three year old does and I think you're smart to be concerned. also, I think it is also smart to think about possible ASpergers (which is very high functioning autism...these kids are bright and often memorize very impressive stuff early). However, what you really need is an assessment because the earlier you get help, the easier it is to change behavior and to help the child (and yourself). But first...what country do you live in? We have people from various countries here and they would know best where you should start. Also, I love Malika, but I disagree that kids usually outgrow problematic behaviors. From my experiences, both having a lot of kids and working with them, their problems tend to get worse without intervention. My motto is "better to be safe than sorry!" Welcome to the board :) and hope you stay a while. [/QUOTE]
