[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 551221"] It sounds like you are doing all the right things. If the Occupational Therapist (OT) is a "good" one, you will learn a lot. We went through a total of 4 of them and only one of them was worth much. SHE is the one that got to the bottom of a LOT of difficult child 1's issues and was extremely helpful. difficult child 1 was a "chewer", always had a piece of something in his mouth to chew on. He HATES certain textures of clothes AND of food. Tags come off the minute we get any new clothes home. He loves deep pressure so the Occupational Therapist (OT) helped us get a weighted blanket. Since my difficult child 1 has issues with touch (PTSD stuff), I am the only one allowed to rub and scratch his back and he loves that as well. There are lots of sounds he cannot tolerate like the hum of the air conditioner and overhead projector but fans are okay. It really does sound like you have a great handle on things that will help with diagnosing. Your insight is going to come in really handy when helping him learn the skills he's going to need as he grows up and you're starting young enough to really make a difference. Welcome to our little corner of the world. We're glad to have you. [/QUOTE]
