[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485397, member: 12886"] Good you are going to the doctor. May I offer some advice, feel free to ignore it. Do not ask the doctor what he/she thinks. Say there are some serious issues going on and we need to get to the bottom of it. (you see, doctors are human and if your difficult child is on that day, they will want to reassure you and not alarm you and will likely say to wait and see). Ask for referrals for a neuropsychology evaluation, an occupational therapy evaluation and a speech/language evaluation-specifically looking at language processing (the directions issue, could be attention etc. but like with the tubes, it is good to make sure there is not an underlying issue). Tell him that if there is nothing that is great, but you know that early intervention is key to helping children and you are unwilling to take the risk. Again, dont ask, just say you want a referral, thanks very much. I just called and told our neuro thanks in advance, here is a fax number to send a referral for private Occupational Therapist (OT), speech language, voc rehab and counseling. Got a call from her nurse two hours later that it was done. Its your call, but there are red flags in what you post. He could really be a sensory integration kid and when that is not addressed, they can look very adhd, even autistic in some ways. There could be other things, but the inability to control how soft or hard he touches, to regulate his body when in large, noisy, places, with people too close to him etc.... really worth investigating. (I have to say, I have two very typical niece/nephews and they LOVED the tags on everything. Have you seen those little blankies that they sell with all kinds of tags around the edges, there are TONS of kids who love those, so cute too in my humble opinion) [/QUOTE]
