[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 454697, member: 1550"] If you live in the US, definitely go to a neuropsychologist. I don't trust professionals who specialize in one diagnosis...they do tend to see it in all their kids and are often not schooled on other disorders. NeuroPsychs test in every area, including behavior...you can find them at children's hospitals and university hospitals. Often there is a waiting list, but it is worth it. How were his early milestones? Did he have any speech problems? Motor skill issues? Trouble with eye contact? Does he freak out at loud noise (cover his ears) or refuse to wear certain things or not play with toys? Or does he play inappropriately with toys such as lining them up or taking them apart? In the US, a child has to start school by age six. I held back two of my boys who had late birthdays. However, it sounds like testing and figuring out what is wrong may be more helpful, although another year at home can't hurt. He is unlikely to be a "typical" child even if you hold him back. Best to evaluate him and get him help, including an IEP through school, whether or not he goes to kindergarten. They have to start interventions at age three. [/QUOTE]
