[QUOTE="buddy, post: 468143, member: 12886"] Hi, me again, has he been evaluated for Autism Spectrum Disorder? I know lots of us here say this but it is not a bandwagon, it is because we have been through the being diagnosed with ALL of the things you mentioned, and then to add the social and sensory issues, he sure sounds like he is on the spectrum. These kids can be very smart, even if they are not Asperger's kids. It does not have to have anything to do with intelligence. That diagnosis or not, you will find that many who do have kids with this diagnosis will be able to relate to so much of what you are saying and will understand the upsets, frustrations , etc. and will have ideas for you that might apply well. I am an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and have had many many kids who are on the spectrum but were not diagnosed with that until later. The usual first diagnoses are ADHD and Anxiety. Many then also with behavioral diagnoses and sensory issues. All of these fall under the big Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) umbrella. And mommy to mommy, even though I work super hard to do the right mommy things for my difficult child, I have yelling moments. We all have not so proud mommy times. Just as long as we keep trying to improve and do the right thing a mistake like that wont end it all. [/QUOTE]
