It's not that I am opposed, because I am not. By the way, is psychiatrist pediatrician??? That's what I meant for it to be. Psychiatrist said maybe we need to treat anxiety, but she is not comfortable doing so. She said she's just not experienced enough and truly thinks we need to be looking at occupational therapy for Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). She thinks that maybe the ODD and hyperactivity seem to be triggered by anxiety that he feels when he's overstimulated by noise, pain, or the issues he has with textures (his clothes). So, I will be looking for a good O/T today to start that. I'm just hoping that his lack of medications at school are not affecting him too badly there. His teacher hasn't called (kinda good sign), and we have his conference next week.
