[QUOTE="lostinthewoods, post: 509286, member: 13959"] Wow. Thank you all so much. This is all so, so helpful as we begin this journey. He was initially evaluated by an Occupational Therapist (OT). I'm not even sure if they look for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or just ADHD. No one has ever even mentioned Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) before, but your words and thoughts make it clear to me that it needs to be on the table as something we explore. My boy is sensitive to smells, and won't eat foods with certain textures. He also has this weird fear of paper napkins, tissues, and toilet paper. He refuses to wipe himself with any of them. Very fearful he will get dirty. He won't even touch a used tissue. He is also sensitive to loud sounds and if people talk too loudly or clap, etc. We have always found this bizarre since he is super noisy--talks in a loud voice often, screams, yells, loves making any kind of loud noise. He does some imaginary play, but his sister usually leads this. Aside from numbers, his favorite toys are blocks of any kind. He is a creative builder, though symetry is often his primary focus. From all I have read it sounds like best course of action is to get private neuro-psychiatric evaluation, Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation (done) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation. He did do speech therapy for almost a year, but was never given a full evaluation for issues like auditory processing. From there, it sounds like we will want to begin the first steps toward getting the school district involved. I will certainly be looking to all of you warriors who have been there, and appreciate all of your advice and guidance. [/QUOTE]
