I wanted to know if my 3 yr old son have adhd or autism. His father has asperberger's disorder and i wanted to make sure my son doesnt have that either, if so i will like to nip it in the bud before its too late. The odd part about everything is that he only acts like that around me (his mother) he tries to hit me, he doesnt stop crying, he throws tantrums, and etc when he doesnt get his way. Telling him "no" is like him testing the waters to see how far he can go before i say "yes". please direct me to help!!!

If your child displays the behavior problems only with you, it is a sign that he does not have a condition along the Pervasive Developmental Disorder spectrum. You have to manage the behavior by way of a planful approach. Please read Lynn Clark's book titled SOS Help for Parents and follow it precisely.
