[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 607042, member: 15799"] How do you KNOW sound is his only sensory issue? Have you had a pediatric Occupational Therapist (OT) do a very thorough evaluation? That would be where I would start. We found one (our 3rd) that was VERY thorough and found many issues with difficult child 1 that I never would have even thought of but explained so much. She was a godsend. You might want to look into something like that. If it really is the transitions, I found giving difficult child 1 a cue or "countdown" helped. If he was watching TV, I'd tell him ahead of time that "at the next commercial I need you to ....". For the diaper change, try to set up a schedule (necessary for toilet training anyway). If he soils, find a cue that it's going to be coming. For difficult child 1, expecting an immediate response was a HUGE problem. His brain couldn't process the request that fast, especially if it was from a desirable activity to a less desirable one. The more you share (transitions, sensory, needing to be in control, etc), you might want to see if you can find an autism specialist to evaluate your son. I didn't see the whole picture until I came here and was encouraged to do that. It turned out that he is on the spectrum which explained sooooo much. I changed a lot of things when dealing with difficult child 1 that have made a HUGE difference. We are in a good place now because of this board and the specialists we searched for at their recommendation. From what you've shared so far, it is a possibility that can be specifically evaluated for and could gain you access to specific services. [/QUOTE]
