[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here; School says he is great but very literal and rigid He does have friends his age but he is also rigid with them Our 3 fights before 7am today were over Legos-his brother wanted to play with him, pancakes were too thick-total meltdown, running and screeching in the house It's mostly noisy, silly behavior, notching dangerous The 2 year old is a boy and yes, we have a family history of ADHD (dh side and mine) and my brother has aspergers too[/quote] When you said very literal and rigid (before I even saw that your brother has Aspergers), I wondered about Aspergers. I have ADD and my son has some issues which one dev ped thought might be Aspergers but others thought was ADHD. [b] I'm not any type of expert [/b] (so please don't take this too seriously -- just ask real experts about it) but from what I read on both, the literal and rigid stuff seems more Aspergers than ADD. Kids with ADD like novelty (but do obviously need structure.) I think you should post on special needs forum and you might get more suggestions there. [/quote] My ADHD/anxious child is off-the-charts rigid and can be pretty literal, too. There can be overlap with these neuro disorders and sometimes they are comorbid. I strongly recommend working with a child psychologist and getting a neuropsych exam.Go to Special Needs Board for recommendations.[/quote]
