Yes, have him evaluated as long as you stay away from labels such as ADHD and Bipolar which would warrent medicating your four-year old. I would stay away from medication for your youngster.

Yes--go for the evaluation. Supports for him will be offered if he is in fact on the spectrum and you will learn appropriate strategies for dealing with his behavior as will the teachers at school. CBT and positive reinforcements etc.

My son's preschool made modifications for my son, but never said anything about autism or aspergers. The preschool teachers said mostly positive things about him. He entered kindergarten and it was a nightmare for half a year until they assigned him his own private aide.
