[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 553667, member: 11791"] While you're doing that... get a private, full-scale Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation done. The Occupational Therapist (OT) has therapies, accommodations and interventions that help for sensory overload... and that has just GOT to be ONE of the issues... Know what I mean?? There's a challenge with the autism spectrum... a kid can have a couple of KEY items, and be definitely Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Asperger's. Or... a kid can have all sorts of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-ish traits and issues... and NOT meet the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Asperger's (i.e. my difficult child). Sensory issues often go with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)... but you can have sensory issues, and not have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Ditto for motor skills issues (Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is the diagnosis if you don't have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-ish motor skills problems). I don't know where the cut-off is for all of the other 'traits'. But I do know that an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation is worth paying for, if there is any hint of either sensory or motor skills issues. Occupational Therapist (OT) therapy (and the interventions and accomodations they recommend) may help reduce some of that "overload" even while you search for a more comprehensive answer. How is he around noisy environments? (separate, additional line of thought...) [/QUOTE]
