Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
You child may have mild autism along with ADHD or ODD. I would suggest you consult a developmental paediatrician for the proper diagnosis. Behavioural modification therapy along with medications will help him.
I hope I have helped you
