[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 176050, member: 1550"] My son saw a few Occupational Therapist (OT)'s and in my opinion they aren't qualified to diagnose anything. Your son is not chewing "normal" things for kids his age who like to chew--his nails or the tops of pencil erasures. He's putting quarters in his mouth. If it were me (and I'm in the "better safe than sorry category") I'd want a neuropsychologist evaluation to see if more is going on than ADHD/mood disorders...or even if they were wrong diagnosis. It is worrying that he mouths things that could choke him...I'd want to see why he does it and if I could help him with that and any other issues he has. Whatever you decide, good luck. [/QUOTE]
