Hi,

Have you taken Khye to an immunologist/allergist?

Hi Keira - I was thinking along those lines but i didn't know if I was been too paranoid.
Hi Cass - Yes we have been to an allergist (long story), he has been tested for allergies and has heaps of them.
We are going back to the allergist (paediactric allergist) on wednesday, so i'll mention it to her and see who we should see.
Thank you so far, I look forward to hearing more replies.
Cheers
Karen

My Mum is a special education teacher and I have just described your sons behaviours to her. she said it definitely sounds like a type of Autism(spectral dissorder or something along those lines), manifests very early so thats why it's happening now. The sooner you have a diagnosis the sooner you can learn the skills to cope with it and help him cope with it, so definitely talk to the paediatrician.

Thanks for your reply pebbles. I will talk to his paediatrician about it. As you said if I am on the right track I should get him diagnosed sooner rather than later. I know they don't like to diagnose that young but the more information I have the better.
Thank you once again to all of you for your replies.
Have a great day.
