Thanks for the reassurance. Medication for my son never crossed my mind. I know he's all right, but I am curious to know how his mind ticks. My mother, who is a child psychologist, simply implied that I only need to look into a mirror if I was interested in previewing his future development. Also, my wife revealed to me her minor OCD tendencies (for which she tried Xanax, but found chamomile tea preferable), so I understand he's behaving in a normal manner considering his DNA. Thanks again.

Hi, I found this board after watching some curious behavior in my two year old son. He's always been rigid about routines and exactness, but something new happened today. I told him to put away his Lucky Ducks game. He toddled up to the box with box cover, looked in the box for a split second and said, "oops, one more." I looked and counted 11 of 12 ducks were piled in the box. It wasn't because he saw the last duck on the floor, because he did not know where the last one was, only that is was missing. He looked around for it for a minute, but I found it first. He's been able to identify letters and numbers since 18 months. Are there other symptoms that I should look for? If he may have OCD tendencies, does early intervention help, or should I just leave him be if he continues to develop normally otherwise? Or am I just an overly worried dad? Tom
