[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 217755, member: 1233"] I don't have seroquel answers, though her dose does seem to be VERY low. I think you may need to add a mood stabilizer to it in order for it to be the most help. But you can only change 1 thing at a time, so it will take a while. Did you ever get a full, PRIVATE Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory issues? I can honestly say it may be the most helpful thing you can find. Rin seems to have a lot of sensory things going on, from what you have told me, and addressing these can have a HUGE effect. If I hadn't seen the changes in thank you I would never have believed it. You really almost HAVE to see it to believe it, in my humble opinion. I DO recommend, STRONGLY, getting the book "The Out of Sync Child Has FUn" by Carol Kranowitz. It is activities that you can do at home to provide various types of sensory input. I let thank you lead me in what he needs. Even before the Occupational Therapist (OT) assessment we had done I would look at what he really liked and disliked and let that lead us through activities. Even food. for example, he has the food allergies. And from early babyfood, before we picked up on the food allergies, he HATED anything with pineapple or orange or strawberry. So we didn't force those things. He HATED certain activities on the playground and LOVED others. The ones he loved were providing the types of stimulation he needed. He was a bed bouncer - no matter WHAT I did, he jumped on that dang bed. So I moved the mattress to the floor and let him bounce. He needed that to calm himself down at times. He freaked, totally bonkers, at this indoor gym designed for kids. It was the ONLY time I saw him hit another child on purpose (by age 4). He was just so totally overwhelmed sensory-wise that he couldn't cope. We tried it a second time and haven't gone back. Anyway, those are just examples. If you get the book, you can go through activities and TRY them. If you keep track of what she does and doesn't like you may be able to figure out some of her sensory needs and look up other ways to help them. Holidays are hard for any kid, but esp for ours. Sorry it is too much for her. [/QUOTE]
