[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 143107, member: 1233"] Hi!! Sounds like you are in the right place. You are NOT a bad parent. Most of us feel that way at times. Sometimes a lot of times. If you were a bad parent you would not be looking for places like this one. I strongly encourage testing for Sensory Integration Disorder. An occupational Therapist does this. Our school assessment was not worth the paper it was written on. We had a private one done and it was awesome!!! REally ended up helping more than I dreamed anything could. My oldes has aspergers (autistic spectrum disorder) and I know the earlier you can get intervention, the better. LOTS of intervention. Not being able to communicate leads to frustration and LOTS of behaviors that are hard to handle. SOme parents use signing to help. Also, you can get simple pictures of faces expressing various feelings - think stick people faces, not photographs. We had lots of luck with these also. Didn't seem like it for a long time, but over time it was great. Keep coming back!! Susie ps. Did the neuro do a sleep deprived EEG? It is a test for seizures, many of the behaviors can be caused by seizures. There really isn't a good way to guess, but it is a pretty non-invasive test. They thought my daughter had ADHD. I insisted on the EEG and she has epilepsy. They LOOK the same, but the treatment is very different. [/QUOTE]
