PDD ?: These are significant findings. It is very important that he be evaluated as to whether or not he is on the autistic spectrum.

Developmental: This is concerning to me for a developmental disorder. Many questions are in order. What was his newborn hearing screen? Does he seem to hear? Did he smile at 6 months? Did he gesture and point around 12 months? Does he understand what you say or follow a simple command? He needs needs to have an evaluation by a pediatrician and potentially developmental specialist.

A 4-year old with : signs of Autistic Spectrum Disorder needs evaluations of overall development, specific tests for ASD & medical evaluation for genetic & other causes of developmental delay & ASD. Seek referral from his GP to a Developmental/Behavioral Pediatrician, child neuropsychologist, audiologist, et al., but do not wait for a diagnosis to begin educational & behavioral therapy.
