    People made comments to me that my son seemed over active when he was 18 months old. I only had one child so couldn't compare him. He progressively got worse as he got older and it became obvious when he started school. His teacher was the first to suggest that perhaps we should take him to the pediatrician and ask about ADHD. He has ADHD and started meds when he was 5 and a half. My DD1 was crazy around the same age as your DS but it was completely different to how my DS1 was.

    Does he go to school or preschool or child care? Even playgroup? They might be able to advise you a little, or give you some pointers of what to look for.
