From 2 months of age I knew something was different about my son. Various small things that added up to one big question. Hated being held(try breastfeeding a child with this issue!), never cried at home, just stared at everyone/thing around him, but as soon as we'd leave the house he'd cry continually and inconsolably. Very low muscle tone, and slept almost constantly. Doctor confirmed low muscle tone and sent us to ped for follow up. Ped confirmed hypotonia and started battery of tests for conditions where this presents as a symptom. He's 7 now and his "issues" (for lack of a better word) have gotten worse. He's obsessive about things, cries or angers at the drop of a hat for strange reasons (once had an extreme violent outburst at school because he was worried about the war in Iraq...once had a meltdown because it was raining and proceeded to run home with his jacket over his head crouched down crying the whole way..yet the very next rain did nothing to him etc etc).
