He was a really early with his speech, his speech and vocabulary is really advanced now (at 4) for his age.
His current obsession is with numbers, he’s very competent with numbers, adding and subtracting. He spends a lot of time counting. He wants to count everything.
He doesn’t appear to have problems socially as far as I’m aware, he’s always had plenty of friends and likes to play with other children. Even children he doesn’t know at the park for example. He’s certainly not what I would call shy.
His pre-school teacher has flagged up that he struggles to make eye contact with the adults. But I’ve never noticed that, unless he’s different in the classroom than at home/in other social situations.
They’ve also said he needs support in simple tasks in the classroom (tidying up etc)
Anyway, I don’t know what to think.
His academic ability is advanced for his age, there’s no particular issue socially or with his speech (in fact he doesn’t stop talking)
But the pre school seem to think there’s something going on.
He is quite sensory seeking, he likes to put things into his mouth and rub things on his face. He’s not keen on hand driers but he’s getting more accepting of them now.
He’s beginning to be less fussy with food and trying more things.
He’s not keen on riding his bike or scooter but he loves running, walking, climbing and soft play.
