Sounds like he could be on the spectrum. My grandson, Tristan, displayed similar characteristics. He started showing symptoms at eighteen months right after his booster shots. Vaccines in the US and Canada have been found to be contaminated with high doses of the preservative thimerasol, which is now associated with autism. Tristan will never be neuro-typical, but he has improved over the years with therapy and special schooling. He is seven years old now, and doing much better regarding communication and eye contact. He's very bright, gifted, pattern and puzzle oriented. For years he was non-verbal, however, and screeched a great deal in his attempts to communicate. It's only a matter of time before there is a class action suit against the pharmaceutical companies responsible for the mercury contamination in the vaccines. California has banned all vaccines preserved with thimerasol. I wish you the best in your search for a diagnosis, Gemma. This must be very frustrating for you and Cal. But do give some consideration to the possibility that autism might be at the core of Cal's condition. He sounds as though he is not neuro-typical, which is, in itself, not an affliction: It only means he's different, and has a different way of experiencing the world around him and communicating his thoughts. He sounds very gifted, which is typical of most autists.
