My Son is 5 yrs now - has always been very hyper active - used to bang his head till it turned blue with bumps on the floor at 2-21/2; used to continiously arrange and rearrange his toy cars in lines and wd get v.v. upset if i removed even one of them.... he did not speak properly till he was almost 3.... otherwise he is a very loving, social child - loves friends, hugs freely, listens and responds unless he is lost in tv cartoons - then i feel he has suddenly gone deaf - he gives me a totally blank look when i tap him n tell - mama has been calling - listen to me. his school teachers say he is naughty but very sensitive, shows good imagination makes up stories.... it's just that i read about autisitc kids making endless lines with their toys - so was wondering whether he was actually a borderline case. Can u pls suggest what i shd do.
