[QUOTE="Autismkids, post: 332332, member: 8756"] Thanks for the welcome! I didn't go into our entire history, because that's a book. My little man was allergic to dairy- as in life threatening, epipen carrying. He recently passed an in office food challenge this past summer. We are generally dairy, gluten free (we get oats free of gluten cross contam) and **** free, but I don't go crazy. I have done strict elimination diets with each of them and the only connection ever made was with my daughter and stimming after tomatoes. She now tolerates, but only eats sauce and ketchup. His other atopic problem is geographic tongue, but since it doesn't cause him any pain or discomfort, it's nothing right now. I know that most (all?) of his dxs overlap. The sleep fragmentation is probably related to his ADHD, and the rythmic movement disorder is probably a stimulant. His developmental pediatrician and neurologist find it's better that he have a ton of labels so the school can't deny everything. So while it's a given that an autistic kiddo will have sensory issues, his separate diagnosis of Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) ensures that the school can't ignore it. The early signs of CD label helps ensure that his insurance continues whatever therapies we're doing. At school he's in a general ed class with a crappy, negative teacher, but has very minimal behavior issues (4 small incidents since school started in September). He gets 2 group speech per week, and 2 Occupational Therapist (OT), 1 group, and 1 individual. He also gets a social skills group once per week to work on frustration tolerance. At home- He goes to Occupational Therapist (OT) once per week, and we have basically a therapy apartment. We have a platform swing, sensory balls, loads of play doh and theraputty, couch cushions that double as a crash pad, scooter boards, and a balance board. My daughter loves to be brushed, but my son no longer tolerates it. That's one of his current Occupational Therapist (OT) goals. I just started a new reward system after a 2 week run of ABC charts. 90+% of his behavior is escape and sensory, so he's getting overly rewarded right now for simple tasks (like when he ran into his room yelling every curse he knew because he wasn't allowed to play the Wii yet, I gave him a marble for NOT slamming his door!). I will have to order The Explosive Child. [/QUOTE]
