[QUOTE="totoro, post: 349022, member: 3155"] Hi I am in full agreement with a Neuro-psychiatric evaluation. Whatever his diagnosis ends up being he needs to be treated for his SX. The oral things are not by choice, they really can't help it. Think of it as an itch. With treatment they might be able to learn to develop their muscles and understand what and when they are doing these things and use other techniques to satisfy this need. My Daughter K has been working on her multiple oral issues for years and it gets better and then worse depending on her stability or stress... She works on social, spacial, body proprioception issues, weekly all of these things seem to never get better but they do inch by inch get better over time. (or so I have to tell myself) She hurts herself, the dog and us. We can't leave her alone for a minute with the dog. She can't really even walk across the street to get the mail. She can't wipe herself consistently yet and she will be 9 in July. Treatment is the most important thing whether your child is medicated or not. Our other duaghter luckily still does need to be medicated. Hopefully never. My older daughter K may be diagnosis'd as Autistic in the future. Her symptoms can be considered part of her Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and BiPolar (BP) but there is just a bit more going on. I don't really care, as long as she continues to get the help she needs, which if she is diagnosis'd as Autistic she will receive more services. But, if your child is diagnosis'd with something like BiPolar (BP) or another Mental Illness, you want to be sure. Medications are vital for stability. My daughter would not function without medications. Believe me we went as long as possible without medications. We have even stopped medications since just to see. Horrible idea. Do not settle for a Doctor who you are not comfortable with. All of our Doctors work with BiPolar (BP), Autism and many other disorders. We make sure of this. Even our psychiatrist. Good luck, also I would be pushy for all of the testing. Sleep, allergies etc. [/QUOTE]
