My lo has just turned 3 and he has some behaviour which is a little unusual but I'm not sure if I'm over thinking things or comparing him to how his sister is.
He developed late which we found out was due to hypermobility which he had physio etc for and he has special piedro boots so we feel he is progressing well with this. He also suffers from reflex anoxic seizures, where if he's really upset or shocked he has a seizure (passes out for about a minute, goes really stiff then limp). We were told he should grow out of these by the time he's six. That's just to give a bit of background.
Anyway there are a few things he does that seem unusual. He is very shy which I know is not unusual in itself but he takes a long time to get used to new people, he hides behind my legs and clings onto them or insists I carry him and hides his face in my boobs. When I drop him at nursery he's inconsolable. There are a few people that he's got used to and he will not leave their side. H
He hates noise and can't cope with other noisy children (just about accepts his sister). If we even slightly raise our voice he gets upset and tells us to stop shouting. He doesn't allow us to talk while we ate sat at the dinner table or in the car- he just keeps shouting stop until we stop talking). He doesn't like doing much, just wants to stay at home and would sit and cuddle for hours. Once we are out he's fine but he needs a lot of encouragement and reasoning to do anything.
He is very particular about his clothes. His socks must be pulled all the way up (no slouching) and the toe bits must fit his toes exactly- they can't be wonky or hanging off at all. Same with his sleeves he doesn't like them pulled up at all but equally doesn't like anything tight on his wrists. He was bought a lovely new coat but refused to wear it as it had an elastic bit round the wrists. Until recently he refused to step on the floor without socks and slippers on,ike his feet are very sensitive.
And I'm finding potty training near impossible as he won't put pants or pull ups on- he gets sooo upset if we try. And he doesn't like dirty hands( although he couldn't care less if his face is dirty!).
Has anyone else got any experience of these sorts of characteristics? Any advise on this? Thanks x
