[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 272457, member: 3907"] Mrs. Confused, welcome! First of all, {{{hugs}}}. You've really found a soft place to land here. Full of wisdom and understanding, good advice and love. Honestly, this place has kept me sane. Sorry for starting off with a bunch of questions, but they will help us to better help you. So, here goes... 1) How was your little one's early development? Any speech delays? Any delays with other milestones? 2) Has your son ever displayed any sensitivities to light, noise, textures, etc.? Any "strange" sensory issues? 3) Any sensitivities to food textures? 4) How does he cope with transitions? Is he able to move from one task to another easily, or is there difficulty adjusting, sometimes with a meltdown? 5) In interacting with other children, does he display a need to control the action? Please don't beat yourself up for not spotting that there was an issue sooner. Sometimes it's really hard to differentiate normal childhood orneriness from something more. Also, sometimes we're too busy being in the trenches, getting through each day with our difficult children to step back and really look at the situation objectively. You did notice that there was something, and now you're taking steps to figure it out, and for that you should be commended. Some of us have been on the diagnostic merry-go-round for years. The fact that you're starting while your son is 6 is great, as early interventions can often make a huge difference. None of us can diagnose, but some of the issues you mention with your son sound a bit autism-spectrum-ish to me. It might be worth checking out the questionnaire on [url="http://www.childbrain.com"]www.childbrain.com[/url] . It's informal, but might point you in the right direction. Hang in there. Others will be by soon to offer more advice and help. In the meantime, glad you found our little corner. Trinity [/QUOTE]
