[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 118412, member: 3419"] Sounds like a cpl things going on --sensory and bipolar, maybe. Poor thing. I used to have a lot of sensory issues when I was a kid ... had to smooth out every single wrinkle in my sheets in the middle of the night (I still have no idea why); hated anything scratchy, still do ... some kids are just born like that.

I know what you mean about how everything is going well and the all of a sudden it changes. with-us it's more in line with-food allergies, too much stimulation, and manipulation.

Everything with-these kids is exaggerated beyond what "normal" might be. Having said that, I also agree that it is a good idea to think about these kids as just being kids, rather than a collection of symptoms, or as a condition. But sometimes it's so hard! When we have good days, and my son is "up" and fun and funny, and he does one little thing that is odd or out of line, it helps me to put it in perspective with-just being a kid.
