Desperate for some help.

I have an absolutely beautiful kind clever little 2.5 year old.

But there are a few things concerning me.

Hes never been a great sleeper. he can often lie awake for hours on end. Or be screaming through the night. Doesn't seem to need much sleep.

He's on the go literally from the second he wakes up to th second he goes to bed. Impulsive behaviour. Little or no sense of danger. Touches strangers and is worryingly confident around them.

Very physically advanced in terms of strength and ability. Can keep up with kids much much older at soft play etc. Excels at sports class too.

I've also noticed that eye contact is minimal lately.

Is the lack of sleep driving me to look for symptoms or is something not quite right. My instinct tells me something is a miss.

Even if I took to a specialist, I wouldn't medicate. But maybe need help dealing with some of thwith behaviours (thinking out loud here).

Could be anything or nothing at this age.
Does he have any sensory difficulties?
