Answer 1

I'll have to say yes because those are many things a regular 4 year old boy wouldn't do. I suggest you take him to a doctor or therapist right away because he'll get used to all that stuff and start doing it in the future.

Answer 2

He very well might have a form of Autism? The people in my family say that I didn't even talk until I was 5 and I was diagnose as Austistic just five years ago and I am 23! His form may not be severe and with the right guidance he should be able to grow up normal. Sometimes it is hard to tell if someone is autistic because they can appear to have no learning disabilities. But just the slightest abnormal behavior could be a sign of Autism. Some children will only show symptoms as minute as one eye being bigger than the other. Check with your parents and see if they would take him to a doctor that could diagnose a condition if he has one.

Answer 3

He has a g*y condition which is perfectly normal and acceptable these days

Answer 4

No, sounds like a typical kid. Mine does that too.

He should be in preschool to learn some different behaviors and to socialize with other children his age/gender.

Did you ask your mother if you did that too?

Answer 5

To be honest with you he sounds like a typical 4 y/o kid.

Sorry I can't help you

Answer 6

No. Just because you think he's weird doesn't mean he's mental.
