[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting there are so many replies suggest ADHD. I guess I never considered that. He is in preschool and has no issues there, so I don't think it's that he doesn't know how to behave or can't stop and pay attention.

And yes he does know how to ask questions and have a back and forth. He is not just talking by himself. He will talk about something, then ask for affirmation and input constantly, like "that was rude, wasn't it?" "That's so funny right?" "Did you like that Mommy?". I might actually prefer it if he just droned on and on by himself but he actually waits for me to respond and act totally engrossed. [/quote]

You still haven’t said what he does with WH questions, how many can he answer- what type, how he answers novel questions, if he can recall events, can he ask and answer multiple questions about preferred and non-preferred topics, etc.  How he does with those things are the lynchpin here to determine if he maybe needs evaluation. Since you don’t want to answer for whatever reason, then get him evaluated. [/quote]

Sorry I was a bit confused by these questions. Yes he can answer What where why questions, if that's what you mean. Not sure by novel questions. He can keep a normal conversation, though his answers tends towards the silly because he is trying to be funny and get attention. Also not sure what you mean by non preferred topics, like if I change topics? He follows, as long as I am still talking to him. I am not getting the sense that he has autism or ADHD. His behavior is totally controlled and voluntary. He can shut up when he is in an uncomfortable or new environment. He just prefers to converse a lot in normal settings. He constantly invited his teachers over for playdates (and for vacation). While doing worksheets in small groups, he has to make it into a gift exchange with his teachers or friends. [/quote]
