Unusual Symptoms

[Uzoma]

Hello:

I am in the process of trying to 'diagnose' some symptoms - for a book character.

The symptoms are inappropriate laughter, sometimes eating soil and sometimes crying or feeling tearful.

He sometimes seems to mentally drift out of conversations and he's a bit behind in mental age.

Your suggestions are most welcomed - thanks.

That sounds like my nephew, who has autism. However, my son also has it and isn't like that. Pica is eating non-foods.
