He could DEFINITELY see the letters... he was picking the right one, over and over and over, and it just seemed like something grabbed him, at the last moment, and he couldn't bring himself to do it, many times he touched the button and held his finger on it for maybe 10 seconds, before suddenly and somewhat spasmodically lurching to another key and typing that. A few times he whispered it correctly before saying another letter louder and then pushing it. And this was most pronounced on the letters he knows best, like the first letter of his name, X, and W.
He can work his way through theory of mind stuff intellectually better than age appropriately, I think. But in the house example, he'd absolutely not be able to get it.
He's not so hot on 2 way conversations. Well. Ok, when he wants answers and he's directing, he's better than average for his age... mostly because of vocab, stick-toitiveness, and so on. But when other people start conversations he ignores them. Completely. And even when he's asking questions, he as trouble stopping to hear the answers, he wants you to keep talking over him and then start answering the next question. kinda. or something.
But he's also only 3...
Anyway, we have some ASD concerns. The main reason I'm asking about this weird thing is that it *doesn't* fit into an ASD pattern that I know of...
