He’s got good speech for the most part, but he seems to get you and me mixed up.

For example he’ll say “Mummy come here I want you to show me something” when he really means he wants to show me something.

Nobody has mentioned it at nursery, but I guess I’m a bit worried (first child and only child at present!)

I suspected my DD was different when he started pre school and had a few odd comments about not listening and defiance. This had never been an issue at private nursery but I think in a setting with more children/fewer adults and more of a structure, it showed a lot more. This trend has continued, I didn’t worry too much while he was in reception as his teacher seemed to think it was an age thing that he couldn’t concentrate on the mat, but answering back, messing around, cheekiness etc continued into year 1. Better now with good handling from his Y2 teacher.

When he was little the signs were very subtle. Slight sensory issues age 2-3, things like hand dryers and loud blenders would have him covering his ears. Preferred playing 1-2-1 or alone at pre school. Lots of noise - talking, singing, train or car sound effects.

He’s always slept well, eaten well. Doesn’t have big meltdowns. We know he is neurodivergent, we think he definitely has ADHD and may well also have ASD.

So her traits don’t impact her daily functioning ?
