[QUOTE="WoeIsMe, post: 588340, member: 16165"] Sorry, there's so much to respond that I'll just write a response instead of quoting. [B]Buddy[/B], In his 17 day preschool assessment, he was very much above average in his communication. Everyone has said that spectrum concerns are not a consideration. He's "normal" in all aspects of social skills. The only sensory issues that he may have are visual. He's easily distracted so there might be some visual sensory overload. His Occupational Therapist (OT) was grasping at straws about any sensory issues. I have a 50 page report from his preschool assessment and the only are of concern is the psychiatric portion. On the surface, he's a delightful, well adjusted child. I shudder at the word "smart". I think the word should be outlawed from vocabulary, but that's the word people use when they meet him. He has no attachments to any toys. I fill out so much paper work for him and they always ask what his favorite toys are. He doesn't have any! He could take or leave anything he has. [B]DDD, [/B]Sleeping is another part of the diagnosis mystery for him. He sleeps! Takes a nap everyday. Bed time is at 7:30. Last night at 7:15 he said he was sleepy and ready for bed. We rarely hear a peep out of him before 5am. He's ALWAYS been an early riser but at the same time, he can't make it past 7:30pm. He also eats well. Thank you all so much for you ideas. You've given me some food for thought! I found a neuropsychologist about 100 miles away. The facility looks great on the computer screen. It's worth a shot! [/QUOTE]
