[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 601858, member: 15799"] I am with the others. Find a developmental pediatrician fast. The biting sounds like it could be a sensory issue involving the need for oral stimulation. My difficult child 1 did stuff like that when he was younger (tg it didn't involve biting others). He would bite and chew on anything he could find. He's 15 now and still needs oral stimulation. Until he was old enough to chew gum, we had to find all kinds of appropriate things to chew on and teach him to chew on that (catching him chewing on wrong things and redirecting to right things). He also has noise and smell sensitivities. A GOOD occupational therapist can help with these issues. You do need to do whatever you can to get some respite, even if it's window shopping in a mall or huge store. I am very proud of you for seeking help. She's still quite young but there is so much help out there if you know where to look and you've found the perfect place to get steered in the right direction. Please, please stick around. These parents have gotten me through some REALLY rough times and helped me keep my sanity. I ignore the "signs" because they were so subtle and listened to each and every professional I did see without questioning. Now, I wish I had questioned way back then. My son didn't get an accurate diagnosis until he was 12 years old. A lot of wasted years that we could have gotten help. [/QUOTE]
