[QUOTE="Chantillylace, post: 553289, member: 15282"] His sensory issues are a little different than most kids. That's why it took me so long to realize that he had any. He'll wear anything, eat just about anything. His problems start when he has to climb or jump. He won't climb up play places and slide down unless an adult goes with him the first few times. He used to not climb up at all. The first time he "jumped" on a Jupiter Jump was about a month ago. Before that, he would go in, stay on all fours and crawl around in there. If there were too many kids, he would come out and tell me it was too loud, but he would NOT jump. He didn't like the baby swing as a baby. He's never liked his back rubbed, and still won't allow that, but he's very affectionate and gives lots (perhaps overkill) of hugs and kisses. He's cries when the fire alarm goes off and school. His teacher said he clung to her leg, shaking and crying. He's also scared of some vacuums. He says it's just the "loud" ones that scare him. Also, in the past he wouldn't allow band-aids on his skin, but now he will. He started allowing them at about 3 1/2. He still won't wear band aids in the water though. If he has one on he won't get in the bathtub or the pool. Until about a month ago, cutting his toe nails was a 10 minute screaming session. As for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), the only symptoms he has are sensory (which you can have without an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis), resistance to transition and change, and difficulty with social skills... and perhaps empathy; although, he can recite that hitting hurts his friend's feelings and body. He doesn't get interested in parts of objects or how they work, he's not overly interested in one topic. Well, he loves lawn equipment and will stop everything to help the neighbors "mow" if they are mowing, but he doesn't talk about it all the time. Actually, his teacher didn't even know he loved mowing stuff until someone was mowing at school one day and he begged her to let him sit at the window and watch. Also, his speech is expressive. He makes good eye contact with people he knows. He recognizes social cues, facial expressions, and changes in tone. His speech is normal - no big words that are completely inappropriate for his age. Any thoughts? I think it's kind of a fear of mine that if I dig into testing that he'll be diagnosed with Asperger's... but the child development specialist that saw him said that she didn't see it; although, she's not qualified to diagnose - that's one professional opinion.
