I ask this because Tom has become more and more noticably different to his peers recently. His licking and the thing he does with his fingers tapping his face and mouth are pretty much constant now...he's almost never still. His shouting out random things has also become worse, he's started wetting the bed (something he rarely did) almost every night, and he's now started smearing poo on the bathroom walls.
When he was younger, before he started nursery he just appeared to be a somewhat hyperactive little boy,very bright, could write his own name, knew all his colours etc but now it's fairly obvious that he's somehow different. His writing is no better now (at 5 1/2) than it was back then.
Is this a familiar pattern with asd?
Thanks.
