Dear Doctor, We found our son started developing some strange behaviours in the recent past...He is very sharp, has got excellent memory power and grasping capability, can speak, write and read properly and has been getting excellent scoring at school till date...He is 2006 Jan borne....Here are the observations...Are they abnormal? Is he developing some sort of psychological disorder? I would like to seek your advise to consult a Homoeopathic doctor....!

Observations:

a)     Asks the same question repeatedly expecting same answer and laughs in himself once the answer is given
b)     Pretty demanding when he wants something…doesn’t listen at all when you start explaining something…keeps on demanding for the same and then cries, gets crazy when that doesn’t happen…like if we are on the road and if there’s a traffic jam and our car is stopped, he want us to move, even when you try to explain him that its because of traffic or what ever…if this happens for long, he cries, gets crazy
c)     If he likes something, he would like to have the same happening every time he wants
d)     Can not socialize with any one….very difficult to get along with any one….takes really long before he goes to a person
e)     Can not accept any one and some times can be very cranky and crazy when some one comes into our house or our car or we go to some one’s house
f)     Tough to teach discipline ….never does what you say….does what he likes
g)     Very tough to control when he does things that he is not supposed to be doing
h)     When we say something is wrong, he tends to do the same repeatedly
i)     Can sometimes be very aggressive and can hit other kids ( that he knows well like his cousin sisters and their friends) badly….can repeat the same in spite of several warnings. Funny thing is he also cries when other kid that he hit cries!!
j)     Can be very aggressive some times when he wants a thing pretty quickly….he can cry loudly, get cranky till that happens….very tough to control
k)     Very difficult to get him focused on anything for a continuous period. wants to deviate and move around….wants to always do things in a playful mood.
l)     Can not tolerate anger from others…can not see others getting upset on him….he gets offended and starts crying
m)     Is not afraid or shy for his misbehaviour in front of others…like crying loudly, getting cranky
n)     Some times laughs in himself pretty loudly without a reason, won’t stop until you ask him why
o)     Some times sees himself in the mirror for a long time and smiles in himself
p)     Always gets attracted to new things and can get cranky if that doesn’t come his way
q)     Pretty fearful towards people getting upset on him
r)     Keeps his fingers and other objects in mouth…when told repeatedly, he would take it out…Likes to get occupied all the time
s)     Pretty fearful for big noises like crackers, buses etc…tend to close his ears towards loud noises
t)     Bed wetting
u)     Still needs to be fed by mom…doesn’t want to try having food on his own
v)     Very pick n choosy in food and any other items for him
w)     Sometimes talks things that are not expected from a child of that age…sounds strange….mainly during night times
x)     Some times shows a strange behaviour as if we are refusing to offer what he wants….like if I say I will take you the park today and I say at 5 o clock..he would come to me at 4 and wants to go…if I say at 5 we will go, he wouldn’t listen starts saying repeatedly that I don’t want to stay here and I want to go to the park…you would say yes we will go, but he would still be saying no I want to go to park at 4…he would repeat, repeat, loudly, crying and gets crazy….very difficult to bring him back to normal.
y)     When I ask him, why did he behave crazy at school, at home or somewhere, he would say I wanted that ( like a candy or something) and so…..when I tell him, please don’t do that again, he would say yes…but when the time comes, he would do the same again and again. This tells us that he is doing things without him knowing about it and realizing that he is doing???
z)     Doesn’t mingle with other kids, is not afraid to say that I don’t want that kid, I hate…..things like this would be embarrassing for us when we go out.
