Well I talked to my sons pediatrician on Tuesday and he evaluated him. He said that he fits all the characteristic of a savant and that he is very advanced in his development.
He said his vocabulary and speech was at a 7 year old level and he is 2 1/2.
His reason for him not fitting in socially with his peers is that he has advanced to quickly and he is frusterated and bored with them. This is the beginning of a long journey. His overall development for other areas, minus motor skills and potty training, was also between ages 5-7 so this is exciting news.
His doctor is sending us to a specialist who will do a full neurological evaluation on him and I assume IQ testing. He said he wants to get an accurate report of how advanced he is. I guess after we get all this done they will advise us on what to do but we are just taking this one step at a time. I am glad I could post this here. I definitely wouldn't put it on facebook.
