[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 358062, member: 1991"] I just wanted to stress, re the incident at Grandma's - first, difficult child 3 is older. Second, Grandma thankfully didn't continue pushing his buttons; as it was, I was on tenterhooks expecting a full-blown rage. We used to get really serious raging every evening, sometimes several in a row. Once you get one rage, the kid is on a hairtrigger for more. Third, we've been using "Explosive Child" methods for a few years now and the long-term benefit is, he has learnt to be more tolerant. The issues with food etc are undoubtedly sensory integration issues, which are classic findings in Asperger's. I do get you on needing to re-evaluate and make sure the isn't something else as well. But a couple of points - first, this is not very exact part of medicine and "seek and ye shall find" applies. What I mean - it depends on which kind of specialist your child sees, but whatever diagnosis you feel belongs, you can ensure is given, if you just see the right person (or the wrong person). You are right to keep challenging the diagnosis - we all need to do that. But keep an open mind, always, on the result. difficult child 3's current specialist is typical - if we need reports for school or for welfare, the doctor says to me, "What do you want me to write in my report?" Very disconcerting. Marg [/QUOTE]
