could i please get some advice re:my son

by cazzyp, Oct 02, 2009 02:44AM
Hi there.
my little boy is 3 yrs nearly 4.
for the last year and a half i have noticed certain behaviour of his i thought was strange.
let me explain. whe  he runs he flaps his arms, he still walks a lot on his tiptoes,
he is totally obsessed with trucks and tractors, when he is talking he constantly repeats himself
he sometimes comes across deaf , now i know all children have selective hearing but i dont think
he does this intentionaly. he is terrified of loud noises , like a drill or hairdryer etc he freaks out and runs to his room.and if he is outside he panics and hides. he also repeats the television and dvds he know nearly all the words
to some of the disney films. he is very clever in other ways he knows his abc, his numbers up too twenty, his shapes
his colours and his left from his right. when he is in company to other children he runs up to them  and makes really
weird faces up close to them and runs around screaming. could someone please give me advice
as im not sure what to do i dont want to take his to a specialist if he is fine , but i guess its mothers intuition i feel
there might be a problem. thanks for taking the time to read this plz reply.

He does show some autistic behaviors, but it could be something else. I would be worried too and I'll definitely take him to a specialist. It's better now than later and you might get your peace of mind.

thank you for taking the time to reply.
this is a update regarding my son,
last week he was at physio for his feet as he has flat feet and tight achilles tendons . this was his first appointment with physio during the
session the physio asked me if i knew what dcd was, which i didnt .
its dyspraxia she thinks my little boy has this and not autism, she told us his motor skills are slow etc. so now im waiting ti get refered for dyspraxia. i just wish i could get his diagnosed now and get him the help he needs.
thanks again keep you posted
