[QUOTE="Audrey, post: 308438, member: 8114"] I had a LONG talk yesterday with the school counselor. She and the school psychologist observed difficult child for two days in the class. They are most concerned with impulse control. The constant touching, making inappropriate noises, sticking tongue out, blowing raspberries etc... when something or someone doesn't do what he thinks they should. He seems to get this way when in a large group, but in a smaller group, no problems with the touching. He has Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), he is gifted academically, he has little mantras and chants he repeats over and over. Sometimes as a reaction to loud noises or crowded places, sometimes for no reason. He is physically coordinated, no gross motor delay at all. We had trouble with feeding and potty training, getting himself dressed, problem solving etc. His speech is excellent, rather sophisticated. However, he has trouble with comprehension of facts. He can't give you the "why" to something only that it "is." I don't know if Asperger's is appropriate, but I do think there is a neurological defecit as far as the impulse control. He processes information very differently than the rest of us, so something on the autism spectrum wouldn't surprise me. Waiting for the psychiatric consult. Teacher emailed me this morning. She found a stress ball in the class she's going to let him try today. We'll see! [/QUOTE]
