Am I overreacting with my two year old?
Problems I’m experiencing with my two year old. (He will be 3 in August)
- Doesn’t listen unless I threaten to spank him or yell or scream
- Super hyperactive but will focus on something completely weird and dumb for 40 minutes straight. Like for an example, we went to a firework show and he wouldn’t sit still the entire time we were waiting for the fireworks to start but then he randomly started playing with the seatbelt in his stroller for 20-30 minutes straight and wouldn’t budge even when we called his name or tried to get his attention.
- He’s scared of water being on his face and head. I mean extremely scared like he will scream bloody murder and fight horribly.
- He refuses to use the potty consistently. He has days where he’s interested and sometimes will be okay with peeing in the potty but then he’ll go weeks and months not wanting anything to do with it no matter how much we try to encourage him.
- Whenever he gets mad or upset or whatever, he’ll cover his ears with his hands.
Should I get him checked for autism or adhd? His father has extreme adhd.

based off the research i’ve been doing for my almost one year old the thing that stands out to me the most out of that is covering his ears that behavior alone is what would make me look further into if it might be autism, my son also does that but is still too young to be diagnosed correctly
I think he should be checked yes sounds rough!
