[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 574143, member: 11847"] I did talk about the tantrums to her service coordinator and therapists and they actually all agree it is beyond normal 2 year old tantrum. Frustration, fatigue, hunger and all of the other will create a tantrum. But often, her look simply change without apparent triger and then everything goes south real fast. I do see sensory issues (refused her infant car-seat, is just now getting better about car rides, difficulty falling asleep, almost always wakes up crying, sensitivities to her feet, vestibular sensitivities, very sensitive to temperature of bath water, can't stand the sun in her eyes, etc...) I do think it is under control though. In the sense that the whole family has learned through V and we naturally adjust to sensory processing disorder (SPD). Sweet Pea was evaluated by an Occupational Therapist (OT) who focused on on fine and gross motor skills and then simply did a sensory questionaire. Not thorough enough to actualy detect sensory processing disorder (SPD). Her playtherapist had warned me that this Occupational Therapist (OT) was not trained in sensory processing disorder (SPD). I did not persue another evaluation because I believe things are manageable. I did try to ask husband what he thinks last night, and after I convinced him that "I'm not worried, just wondering". He said: " from the very little bit I know about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), yes she definitely has some. All of our kids actually". And then he asked me AGAIN not to worry! I promiss I'm not worried. I told him that I was fine, but if there is some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in the mix, maybe it would explain why she is so slow progressing in her expressive language. Maybe there would be an approach more efficient if we knew she is on the spectrum? I don't know. I guess I'm always brainstorming. As far as pretend play, she is only 2. I think it is good for her age as she pretends to rock her babies, feeds them, pretends to cook with her dinning set. And then there is also some lining up (not compulsive though), and repetitive play (all babies have to be face down and covered with- a piece of clothe. It has been going for well over a year. when she lays them down, I don't touch them otherwise she gets highly annoyed and will put the back the right way). We will start the transition to preschool services in a couple month (6 months before she turns 3). I know who will be coming to see her: the same person who completly over looked V's issues and poo-pooed me. GRRR. I'm afraid I might not have a whole lot of patience with her... I'll have to take deep breaths. [/QUOTE]
