[QUOTE="SRL, post: 119267, member: 701"] You might want to avoid bathroom so as to not add conflict to anything related to using the bathroom for potty. Many children on the spectrum have nervous systems that interpret sensory stimuli differently than "normal". Sounds, odors, touch, textures, etc that may be pleasant to a neurotypical sibling might be an excrutiating assault on a child with sensory integrations issues. Conversely they may crave certain sensory stimuli (spinning, pressure, brushing of the skin, etc) because it helps them to feel better. What you've described is an issue with many 4 year old boys so I'm not saying it is related to sensory integration issues but you do want to educate yourself on this area. in my opinion, all kids on the spectrum should have a private Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory and motor skill issues because they are much better addressed when the child is young. Here's an intro article: [url]http://www.tsbvi.edu/seehear/fall97/sensory.htm[/url] Also check out the book The Out of Sync Child by Carol Kranowitz. [/QUOTE]
