[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my child was in PK4, he hit his classmates. The teachers said that it wasn't meanness or aggression, but as if he wanted to see what would happen, what their reaction would be. I thought it was because he wanted to engage, but didn't know how. Later that year, he was diagnosed with autism.

But, like the pp said, it could be a lot of things. Do you have a developmental pediatrician? Who diagnosed the ADHD?[/quote
We do - I don't think it's autism, at least right now. He's overly social - just so bad at it. Like attempts to engage aggressively constantly. Also very easy to transition. Transistions all day! [b]Pretty sure it's very bad ADHD[/b] and some lds of some type. [/quote]

Well, just to be sure, you'll actually need to take him to a developmental pediatrician.  Get on the waitlist at KKI and Children's and take whichever appointment comes up first.  Just so you know, OP, kids on the spectrum can be social and overly social.  Also, you want to be sure it's ADHD if you're thinking of medicating, so you're actually medicating the correct thing.

Also, just from what you described, my guess is that your kid will need an IEP by the time he gets to elementary school if he doesn't have one already.  An evaluation with a developmental pediatrician will help lay the ground work for what you might need for an IEP.[/quote]
