My 3 year old is in daycare 2 mornings per week and we have been told he does not willingly participate in group activities and rarely smiles and laughs. Is this normalNormal saline flush for his age or is this an indicator of some more serious behavioral issues?
Unless he is exhibiting unruly destructive behavior, I would suggest that it is much to early to worry about specific personality disorders, behavior defiant disorder, or even attention deficient disorder.
On the other hand, three years is about the right time to be seeing autistic behaviors in those children effected with developmental disorders on the autistic spectrum. I wouldn't worry however, unless he demonstrates difficulty with eye contact, and interactive play. If he seems disconnected even at home, then I would suggest seeking the opinion of a pediatrician.
