[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 450918"] I wouldn't worry so much about finding a therapist. He needs to be evaluated by a child psychiatrist or a developmental pediatrician with knowledge of children's mental health. An occupational therapy evaluation might also be needed. We can't diagnose here and we wouldn't even try. It sounds like he has sensory issues which an Occupational Therapist (OT) can evaluate and help with. He also has obsessions and "rules" that make no sense to you about his belongings. For me, in my opinion, this could point to some form of autism. I am NOT saying that is what it is but that is one thing that comes to mind. Others will be along to offer other advice. You have found the RIGHT place for a situation like yours. The parents here have seen and been through everything you can imagine. Check out some threads on this board about autism spectrum and see if any of it rings any bells. You could also look at threads about sensory issues (loud noises). Welcome and stick around. You'll learn a lot and get lots of support here. This is a wonderful place. [/QUOTE]
