My ds 5 has some special needs which are well documented on this site. His school are noting, poor concentration, dislike of loud noises, making noises in class (train, quiet singing), not doing what he is told ie. stopping playing cars to go and do something else, poor motor skills, poor eye contact, poor social skills. At home although we do notice these traits its not that big an issue, we can take him anywhere no problem, he is loving, cuddly and knows right from wrong, sleeps well and is generally gorgeous. The school are obviously edging towards aspergers/autistic spectrum but the paed said his gut feeling was that our ds did not have this condition, although he doesnt rule out another learning dissability or delays in development. DS was half deaf until he was 3 and he does have hypotonic muscles as well. I want to believe the paed as it is what I want to hear. Should I get my hopes up?
