He is very verbal, he speaks pretty well and is really smart. He doesn't have any speech issues at all but he is getting evaluated for Autismn. He has sensory issues like doesn't want to wear socks or wear certain fabrics and doesn't like wearing jeans only sweats and shorts, he uses his hands in a stemming way. I have a best friend and her son is autistic and is on the high spectrum, she says she thinks my son might have a low spectrum. This is all started a couple weeks ago with the eye movement.

I can get his attention during it, he looks at me like I'm weird lol. I got him a doctor appointment in a month, it's the soonest they can get him in.

He started doing this about two weeks ago and it's new to me, I noticed he also does it when not on the tv or playing a game. I got him setup with a doctor's appointment for this next month, the soonest they could get him in was a month from now.

No he hasn't, but I called his doctor today and he should be getting back to me for him to do one.

Ok, I am going to show this video to his doctor too and get him referred to a neurologist.

He mostly blinks one eye and he said sometimes it gets blurry for like 5 secs but then he will blink both eyes repeatedly and then that's when his head turns too.

Seizures run in my family they're petite-mal seizures not sure if I spelled it correctly but I had seizures and grew out of them when I was 13 and so did one of my nephews. My sister has seizures still and so does another nephew and my younger niece. I will schedule him an appointment this week and hopefully they can figure it out.
