>>Autistic behaviors also a possibility I know, but could be many things...

Or, it could be steroids.

Steroids can cause altered behaviour. ....usually irratability and such..just depends on the individual and "time of day".

My son was on steroids for while and I was never SO glad for him to come off of them. He was very much like what you describe but worse.

Re: Repeating phrasesAnn,> It kind of gets on my nerves to hear him say the same thing over and> over again. I say, "Ok honey. Let's talkabout something else."> Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas?I don't know what all it means but my little (age 3) is doingthis same thing. What we have found works is to repeat the phrase backto him, and sometimes that helps the "skipping record". The otherthing is we have found some of Will's phrases are supposed to have aspecific response or Will continues to repeat it until you give him theright line back. Example of this is he'll say "phew" over and overagain until you tell him "that was a close one" and then he says thewhole phrase back to you and can move on. This is definitely gettingworse around here and our Speech therapist isn't too sure what to makeof it either.Sorry I don't have any info on the why side of this, but we are dealingwith it tooHope that helps some, JColo Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.
