Hyperactive, echolalia, concentrated

2025-12-08 05:36:07
My 4.5 years old son had issues with concentration. He learned counting and Abcd when he was just 2 years old. But he wasn't responding on other talks until 3 years. While he was more concentrated on self activities such as building blocks. Now in last 6-8 months, he progressed a lot and he respond to lot of instructions, his memory is very sharp and can repeat many english poems and complete Sanskrit mantras, however, during this time he has become hyperactive, stubborn for going outside still doesn't communicate in sentences or words though he understand what i am telling him, doesn't do simple things. Earlier he was very interested in drawing and sketches but now he doesn't focus on that as well, he would break color pens and pull out what's inside that pen and paint walls and cloths. While in the school he remains very calm, doesn't interact much with other kids and doesn't do social activities but when comes at home he does opposite. I live in Jammu, J&k, looking for suggestions.

Since your kid is having problems with communication and social activities, along with hyperactivity, starting at an early age in life, he needs to evaluated for autism spectrum disorder from a pediatrician and child psychologist. Your child needs behavioural therapy and speech therapy to start with. GMC srinagar has a good centre for Child neurology. You can also try in GMC Jammu.
