[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought my DC had joint attention until I learned how much joint attention is normal. I'm not saying he has asd but the behavior (which is itself repetitive) makes me wonder. I would get an evaluate by a psychologist who is expert in add and asd, not a dev ped. Have you tried removing him from a room the second he throws? And then doing a re-do. Also praising kazdin style when he doesn't?  You can even use food treats to reward, like pieces of a favorite cereal. Also you might consider whether he has any difficulty playing with objects and doesn't really know what to do with them. My DC had a hard time figuring out how to play with toys that other kids had no trouble with. His way of dealing was to take no interest or try for a second and give up and wander off. I remember a kid in a developmental preschool he was in overt briefly who was destructive like your son. I don't know what his diagnosis was but I suspected asd but I think he had trouble interacting. [/quote]

He pretty much constantly demands look at me, play with me, etc. He has great eye contact, is very friendly, has empathy and pretend play and preschool says he is good with the others. My gut says adhd. I will start looking for an appropriate psychologist - do people know one?[/quote]
