please tell me this is normal

thanks ladies

MadB, I definately do understand you when you say yelling at them makes it worse, and I do yell at him alot lately because i''m at my wits end
Diet is definately not the problem, he doesn't have any food with any additives, or added sugar (we try to eat all natural/unprocessed foods), and we have our own organic veggies grown at home, which he loves

I always prepare him for things before we go out and tell him what I expect of his behaviour, unfortunately it goes in one ear and out the other

I just don't see other kids carrying on as much as my ds, it worries me a little bit, perhaps he has some sensory disorder? He gets very emotional about everything, most kids have fun playing - especially with other kids, where as he will spend the whole time (i mean the whole time) whinging that the kids didn't do this or that. We took him to an animal farm the other weekend, me and dh didn't enjoy ourselves at all. DS whinged the whole time and he seemed distracted by little things instead of being like the other kids and enjoying the animals. He didn't want to feed them, pat them or even go near them, he seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the whole thing (which would be normal for maybe a little while, but it was the whole time we were there he acted like this). I just don't get it at all.

If you feel it may be more than the usual, then there's no harm whatsoever in following that up with your doctor Sirenz. And if there is an issue, then the sooner you get onto it the better for all of you.
