Matt has shown some signs of inappropriate social greetings as he seeks to hug his peers and teachers more often than usual. Matt also changes positions or abandons activities as activities that do not draw his attention quickly bore him. He is also impatient and finds it difficult to wait for his turn. Matt has also shown consistent behavioral concern in body rocking, a behavior noted with body movements. His movement includes leaving his position to go to talk to teachers. The current efforts to resolve these problems are successful in the short run, but they recur after a while. Matt seems to focus when the teacher is giving him more specialized attention. Matt also listens and acts appropriately when the teacher tells him to sit and maintains silence when he shows his movement behavior.
