Does this sound like ASD or something else?

DS is 5, he is very bright, no social issues as such but questions the authority of adults and does not often do as he is told.
He does not always listen and can behave in a 'silly' way but this seems to be only at playtimes and he engages well in the classroom. My main concern really is the not listening to or respecting adults, he is going into year 1 in September and I fear this will be a huge problem. I should add he isn't rude and has excellent manners, it is very much as though he believes he is an adult himself and wonders why other adults keep telling him what to do.

I should add we do have consequences for this behavior which have little or no effect

Obviously I've never met your son, so maybe I'm underestimating the effect of what you are saying...

But from what you've said he sounds completely normal to me!
