Mom? What's a difficult child?
I have posted in the past about N, she is 4 now and has been diagnosis'd with sensory processing disorder (SPD). We had the School do a child find with her and they found nothing... of course. They said she was above average in some things. husband took her to all of her tests. This was even before her glasses, so I was amazed that they found nothing, since she could barely see and was walking and stumbling into things.
Anyway, husband and I feel that she is suffering possibly from stress due to K's violence and Mania...
But N seems like she is on the Spectrum, or something is going on. SRL and others have said in the past that she sounds like there are some red flags...
Every single person has said she is fine or it is just stress from K. Or we are over reacting, kind of like we are looking for something wrong, (just like with K). All of her issues have gotten worse or she has gotten new symptoms.
Here is a list of her symptoms:
Spins
hums, makes nonsense noises
self stims, ALOT
licks things, soap, toys, deoderant, walls, the dog, seat belt etc
smells thing, (obsessed with smelling inside ALL dog's ears)
Noises freak her out, ran out into the street the other day when school bell rang
tongue thrusts when excited
jumps up and down when excited, like a hand flap
shuts down in a crowd, will lose posture, climb up me, lose speech, spin, hang on me, hide, cling to me, act like she is terrified
constantly needs to hang or climb on me or husband
is starting to not be able to focus or shut out things to hear us (like she can't hear us)
When overwhelmed she will stop talking and act like she can't talk, regress to baby talk
is starting to repeat TV
Is obsessed with dogs, will just lie on Clemey humming to her.
But she still makes eye contact
still can speak well, complete sentences when not stressed
is still learning new things
I could not get her into a Dev. pediatrician here but found one in Tucson, when we get to Tucson I might give them a call and see if they are taking patients.
What do you guys think? I just don't see how this new School will not see anything. Could all of these just be from dealing with K???
