O.K. So I brought it all up with the pediatrician and I feel like I've opened up a whole can of worms, probably unnecessarily. It was so hard to find the balance between saying what's bothering me, and not blowing it out of proportion. I think I did the latter. The Dr. recommended DS to see a psychologist to be assessed for ASD and ADD, but only going on what I had to say, and now I feel awful. The Dr's now under the impression that DS has 'behavioral problems', and that really isn't the case. The whole basis of the ASD evaluation is that DS doesn't cooperate particularly well with his age peers (though not terribly), and that he is particularly smart in Math! (Many ASD kids are smart in Math so it could be a symptom!). The ADD I'm more willing to look in to, but I just wish I could take it all back now.
