[QUOTE="sandymorgan_503, post: 196424, member: 5466"] Hi, I'm a lurker posting here for the first time because I strongly feel you need to check out the sensory integration disorder (Sensory Integration Disorder (SID)) stuff. Everything you've posted leads to the conclusion that he can't adequately process things coming at him and therefore can't make sense of the world. (failed his vision test, couldn't figure out how to do the hearing test, mouthing everything, still wanting a bottle and not eating a lot (maybe because of textures?) are all part of Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). Emotional volatility is also a part of this. The place to go to check this out is an Occupational Therapist (OT) who is qualified to give a test for this. I came to this forum originally (as well as every psychiatric in the Pittsburgh, PA area) because of my 3 year old with violent temper tantrums 6-7 times a day that would last 40 minutes or more, with property damage and usually damage to me as well, hair pulling of her sister, etc... . My daughter is now almost 7 and still has her moments, but they are few and far between now. She has various sensory issues and once we began to do Occupational Therapist (OT) and give her what she needs at home (it's called a sensory diet), she very quickly began to be able to handle her world and now even knows when she needs a "sensory break" and will go off with for example, her play-doh or headphones and some music. It does sound like there could be other stuff going on, but what you have written raises some red flags for Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). Like you, I feel strongly that God has given me my child for a reason, and you very well may be the only one who can get him the help he needs. Good luck. Sorry all, I'll read the signature post and get it together. -Mom to 9 year old daughter and 6 year old difficult child. Happily married for 10 years. [/QUOTE]
