Can anybody please help - I am getting a little concerned about my ds - he was 2 in November and has a really bad temper - I think that this might be usual for his age but he has begun to throw his toys around the room when he can't get his own way or I say no to something. he will not tidy up his toys under any circumstance (making it a game or a race or asking him to help mummy) and he is still really into touching everything - he doesn't seem to learn IYSWIM. He is generally a very demanding child and you need to spend an awful lot of time with him, but his behaviour doesn't seem to be improving as he gets older. Also, his speech is quite good but if somebody talks to him he does not respond - he just talks back to them with whatever is on his mind at the time - usually the hoover, computer or a plug! which are his favourite things at the moment. For example - I took him to see Father Christmas and when he said - "what's your name then" my ds didn't look at him but responded with "hoover, on, plug it in" this is typical of his response when people talk to him. He also does not look people in the eye or even pay much attention when they call his name if he doesn't want to.
I used to say to myself that he is intelligent and needed stimulation but I am getting a little worried now and even my Parents are saying that he has behaviour issues......... sorry for the long post but any ideas would be welcomed
