I don't know where you are from but in Grand Rapids, MI we have doctors who specialize in child development. When my child was your child's age he was evaluated by such a doctor. He was also assessed by a school psychologist.He was placed in a PPI (pre-primary impaired) pre-school program which was 5 mornings a week, year round, through a very good public school system. My son has aspbergers. Some cities are better than others at diagnosing and then providing appropriate services. Find a qualified professional to evaluate your son, help you understand what may be going on, and to help you find the appropriate services to help him early on. You definately don't need a nursery school teacher like the one who simply told you he was "overwhelmed" and sent you out the door. Your child needs someone who specifically works with kids who have special issues. Keeping him at home is not going to help him or you

I have aspergers syndrome and did a lot of research on autism. Some things you can see about are yeast levels which can cause sensitivity to sound, another is have the magnesium levels checked,low levels will also cause sensitivity to light and sound. If you child is low level autistic, there will be a problem with speech. Higher level on the spectrum, speech may not be a problem. Glycine can help with speech if the speech is a problem. The other thing to look for is does your child avoid social interaction? Whatever your child is, just love them and learn everything you can to help them. It is good that you are asking the question, I did not find out I had aspergers syndrome until I was 28 years old and my life has been incredibly hard and painful. I hope this information will be helpful to you.

When my daughter was three she displayed the same reactions to similar situations. It was so difficult at first. 15yrs later she is set to graduate high school is in the school play and is over at a friends house as I write. And yes she is autistic. My best advice is to pick your battles. Sydney hates socks doesn't even have a pair underwear either. Everything she does takes time but her time and she excels. Didn't make a friend until 5th grade and they are still best friends. Drawing, and her computer offer a good escape from the worldly disorder. Her lack of over emotion leads her piers to mistake it for conference. Most don't even know beause a little soft push and you both will be high functioning. She still eats the same lunch everyday since 1st grade. Haha good luck to you both:+)
P.S. I promise it can be a gift not a stress just take time to learn his triggers and work through them don't always avoid them.
