[quote=Anonymous]FWIW OP- my DS10 has ADHD and deficits in social pragmatics. When he was little, he would become completely obsessed with odd things--he was the kid not interacting at birthday parties--we took him to a tiny soccer gathering and he would take off (leave the field and run to a set of stairs that he climbed up and down while the other kids played)--he had epic public meltdowns, put odd things in his mouth, etc. His behavior became significantly more manageable between ages five and six- (which is why we put off a full neuropsych). When we finally did a neuropsych at eight, his IQ was 145? I'm not trying to be flip and perhaps your doctor sees more than you are describing- but my DS had many similar behaviors. When he got older, it was obvious that he had some sensory issues that had drastically improved. These things ADHD, executive functioning deficits, social impairments, sensory issues will cause some dramatic and atypical behavior in very young kids. There was a time when everything was on the table when I was trying to figure out DS's extreme behavior. [/quote]
