[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 597901, member: 11791"] I don't think there is any "norm" on sensory issues, lol... either you're "normal", or you're not, and if you're not, that could be in any number of different directions or forms. My difficult child is generally "hypo-sensitive" - as in, he has to use his eyeballs to avoid getting burned while cooking etc, as his hands don't register "hot" (or cold) the way most of us do. It's still a sensory issue. Our Occupational Therapist (OT) (not sure about the general consensus) splits sensory processing disorder (SPD) from Sensory Integration Disorder (SID)... and says that Sensory Processing Disorder is more an over-reaction/overload type of situation (can't handle loud noises, labels on clothes, that type of thing) and Sensory Integration Disorder is abnormalities in processing sensory information including vestibular and proprioceptive. ALL of it is "sensory disorders". My experience... skip the developmental pediatrician. All we got from that was "adhd"... should have caught WAY more. Two better alternatives to neuropsychologist-type evaluations are PhD-level "testing specialist" psychologists, who spend years learning how to test for and recognize a wide spectrum of disorders, and child behavioral/developmental teams out of childrens' or teaching hospitals, where they bring a group together to evaluate, and reach a team consensus.
