[QUOTE="sunshinecan, post: 413985, member: 11385"] My first thoughts where Sensory Integration, my middle son was diagnosed. Each child will be different with their input and output needs but here's a couple of things that made me feel 'better' about my situation. He too was great at school, and great when he goes to his dad's. What they told me was that he has the capacity to 'hold it together' for a time, but once he reaches the comfort levels of home, he can decompress, and OH he does! When I pick them up from their dad's it's 45 drive home, and it's not unusual for him to YELL at the top of his lungs until we get home. And heaven help me if it's a long weekend and he has spent three days there. Interestingly enough when his dad had him and his brothers for a week last summer all i heard was how poorly he behaved, I know that it's his Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), but his dad had never seen that side of him, it was a relief to know it was just me! His assessment determined that he needs to do things like monkey bars, push pull with his hands. So I can be seen at the grocery store letting him hang of my arms, or doing wheel barrow races through our house. It's not a perfect solution but atleaast gives me something to work with. What's interesting is he's always like to hang from everything, counter tops, door knobs, whatever. Hugs to you, I feel your frustration! we are still trying to work through his medications, but things are better then they where. Melatonin has also proven to help, it helps him be able to go to sleep (so everyone else can get to sleep) and if he's had a good nights rest then he can function better... [/QUOTE]
