I realized I "agreed" with getting the eval but didn't specify that I also meant the neuropsych which would be much more thorough.
Also, if your child is verbal with you, it's probably not too early to start working with him to communicate how he feels and what is going on and when you try different things at home, why he liked it or didn't... He's still really young but the earlier you can start working with him to articulate, the more he'll be able to self-advocate and feel more confident about helping himself.
The self-regulation skill is very powerful and it's a great life-long skill to have. Even some of my family members who have not been particularlly supportive have noticed how my DD has gotten very good at self-regulation. She's actually better now in some ways than many "typical" children her age, because she has to work so much harder at it.
