Hi my son is 7 and wasn't properly diagnosed until he was 6. There was alot of psychologist visits and tests before they diagnosed him. Ask your pediatrician about vyvanse it might help depending on what his stronger symptoms are. I warn you though you'll have to watch to make sure he eats enough or he'll lose too much weight. Best of luck to you and your little boy

Your son does alot of things that my son jake does too. He was diagnosed high-functioning aspergers at 3 1/2 years old. Every kids exhibits differently, no two are the same. Get into early education where you live, through your public school or community. We had a developmental teach, occupational therapist, and speech therapist since Jake was 2. He is very smart but still struggles socially. You have to be his advocate, most pediatricians are no help!
