[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 673303, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. I'm just another parent. But... the combination you describe? [I]COULD[/I] be signs of autism spectrum. He will be high-functioning, or things would have been noticed long before now. But Sensory processing challenges do not go away with changes in parenting - this just makes life at home easier. An Occupational Therapist (OT) has therapies that can help. That, plus difficulty with transitions, needing to leave the room, tantrums... I'd be pushing for a comprehensive evaluation - the kind that take 6-10 hours over multiple days. You want to know what you are dealing with before he starts school next year, if that is possible - because it's only with diagnoses and you have the clout to negotiate accommodations and interventions in school.
