[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 121450, member: 1550"] I third getting a private neuropsychologist exam. That's probably the best evaluation you can get. He has lots of symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and I'd want hiim looked at for that--this is not something the school or a regular therapist would know much about. My son has it and wasn't diagnosed until 11. LIke the other poster, I'd hate for you to find out at 13. It does sound like more than Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) to me, but Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) goes along with many other disorders and rarely stands alone. Unfortunately, babies born the hard way, are more prone to disorders (I was told this many times because my son is adopted and had a very rough in utero experience). The flapping, late speech, low muscle tone and sensory issues are consistent with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I have no idea if he has it or not, but he has a lot of red flags. Here is a test you can take the may indicate whether or not he has a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). You can bring it to the neuropsychologist, if you like. Whatever is different about him, won't go away just because he doesn't have a label. There is a lot out there to help our kids and, for their sakes, it's best in my opinion that we take advantage of all the supports. Our neuropsychologist tested Lucas for twelve hours. It was worth all the other "hit or miss" or "wait and see" evaluations we had before, not to mention all the heavy duty medications and wrong diagnosis. My son is doing great now, although he's still a bit "quirky." The key to these kids improving is early interventions.
