[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son did a lot of what you are talking about - except instead of being touchy feely with friends, he would try to approach complete strangers (adults) and talk with them about his interests or whether he thought their younger child should be climbing so high on the playset. 
He did get extremely angry and aggressive when transitioning and he did pee on the floor a few times when he was in a meltdown. At age seven, he was diagnosed with ADHD and social pragmatics impairments. 
The good news OP, is that even though this behavior seems extreme, it will get better. Even if it's ADHD, it will likely get significantly better within a year or two. What is interesting is that my DS's ADHD isn't severe- it's mild/moderate. Even mild ADHD *can* cause significant behavior problems in the younger years that vastly improve with age. [/quote]

Also, OP, for a long time, my DS's issues didn't show up at school--I get why that can be confusing, but in our case he held in the tantrums at school and let it all out at home. In fact, my son had few to no issues at school until the environment at school was too complex for him to navigate--and even then, the issues were distraction and social pragmatics--not meltdowns or aggression. 
I understand from talking with other parents of kids with ADHD that this is not uncommon. [/quote]
