My suggestion is to get an appointment with a good Pediatric Neuro Psych and have him evaluated.
I think that while a lot of behaviors are stages or wanting attention, an evaluation will rule out some concerns for you and if you find that there is a problem you are able to address it now and not wait until there are problems in school later.
We had this evaluation done last May. I wish we had done this a year earlier. I could have had a much easier life if I had understood my son's sensory issues and how they affected him everyday. Now we've been in OT and Speech (for processing how he hears and interprets, not diction - big difference there!) for 9 months. He graduated out of speech therapy this month and is only going to OT every other week. The change in him in a year has been remarkable.
All the best,
Christina
