[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 539641"] There are many site that will list "signs" for ADHD. If it is that, it's the hyper kind, not just the attention. I also agree that there is a lot of sensory issues. Not liking to be "strapped down" sounds like a sensory thing. So does the mouth needing to be full to eat and climbing/jumping on things. A good Occupational Therapist can evaluate and help with all of that. Find one that works with kids and ask for a full sensory evaluation. The one we found was AWESOME and was very helpful (difficult child 1 has seeking and avoidance issues). I would also recommend you find a neuropsychologist or a Developmental Pediatrician to do a thorough evaluation. The good ones do such a thorough evaluation that CAN give you quite accurate insight into what is going on. If that is not an option, you might want to find a PhD level psychologist to evaluate him. Once you find one, simply ask your pediatrician for a referral to that particular person/place. A pediatrician is NOT the right person to diagnose and/or treat these kinds of issues. In some cases, they can end up doing more harm than good. Welcome to our little corner of the world. I am so glad you found us. There is a wealth of knowledge here based on personal experience, not from textbooks like the "professionals". [/QUOTE]
