[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to hear OP- my DS had some problems in preschool too. A few hitting incidents and defiance. I agree with the posters recommending a dev pediatrician.

I wanted to say that it didn't end up as severe as I feared it would be-- turned out my son has some language impairments that he masked with long sentences and a big vocabulary.

We also suspect mild ADHD (un diagnosed as of yet).

My point is that preschool issues can seem quite dramatic and level out to something more mild as a child matures.

I smiled when you said "privileged." My DS comes from an environment that would be considered privileged- it didn't change his behavior one jot. [/quote]

NP here with find of the same issues as OP.

The post above about language rings a bell for my situation. Would you be willing to share what sort of language impairments could be masked by a big vocab and long sentences?[/quote]

Expressive/ receptive language impairment-- primarily abstract language and social pragmatics. The best way way I can describe it is "spectrum" light. Poor social skills, exceptionally gifted IQ, and not great at attention regulation (often either locked in, or inattentive to tasks). Impulse control is much better but there are still a few issues. Except for the language impairment, he's undiagnosed. We're planning to keep it that way unless it's clear he needs the school support. [/quote]
