Staci,
Thanks so much for dropping by. I certianly hope that the food thing is a phase. He is so picky that I end up having to prepare 2 dinners. I am hoping that a new play-group and pre-school will help him see others his age exploring, getting dirty, and reaching outside their comfort zone. Although with the dirty thing, I guess I should watch what I wish for!

My son is 4, and has gone through organizing in phases. I’ve found him lining up his cars perfectly by color or refusing to eat food that isn’t “perfect” too. But a few months later, he’ll be jumping in puddles or creating havoc. It definitely comes and goes. I would keep encouraging your little one to try new things, but there’s a good chance it’s just a phase.

I am certaily no expert, but my oldest boy has a few “problems” to the point I homeschool him. As a little tiny one he was the same way as your little one. He could flat make some messes but everything he touched had to be perfectly aligned, facing the same drection, etc. You should have seen the line of match-box cars we would have stretching across our living room.
Good luck in your journey, my prayers are with you guys! My oldest couldn’t be diagnosed anything until age 5
