I have a 3 1/2 year old dcb 2 days per week. He is extremely 'book' clever...can read, write, knows numbers etc. However, he does not seem to know things like how to dress himself!!!!! It is a painful process getting ready to go outside with me repeating instructions over and over. I refuse to do it for him. Mom and Dad do it always. He does not cry for help or anything, just stares off into space or at his sock like it's a UFO.

There are a few other things that he does that I think are unusual....repeats phases to himself over and over, smacks at his face when he is crying ( cries everyday at drop off), gets really flustered if a baby crawl near him, scared of loud noises etc.

His mom is on mat leave and has him here to socialize before he starts school in September, she is a bit concerned that he is not very sociable. She laughs that he's "a bit OCD".
