[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 42455, member: 1991"] Sensory integration problems can manifest as high tolerance to pain. Plus, kids who are active, running around, often don't notice some quite serious injuries at times. But to not notice for so long - sounds like Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) to me. You find Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) in autism, I know that, because we've had similar incidents with our kids. difficult child 3 fell head first out of a tree (he was pushed) and after a 2 metre fall landed on a rock on his head. But he had also been eating an ice block (icy pole?) and dropped it in the fall - his main concern was where his ice block had got to! From his symptoms, he had concussion. Are there any other sensory oddities? Fussy about certain foods, or certain textures? There may be some oddities in his behaviour that, when you think about it, have a sensory basis. Some kids wear their clothes inside out, for example, because they don't like the feeling of the seams against their skin. Certain fabrics get avoided (my kids refuse to wear pure wool next to their skin). Sometimes it's an obsessions with certain textures, sounds, sights or whatever. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is obsessed with the feel of fur or fur fabric. difficult child 3's fixation is towelling. difficult child 1 HATES to have his clothes washed because he likes his clothes and bedding to smell 'familiar'. He's washing them more often now, but it's something he has to work at. I think you find Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) in other conditions too, but I can really only talk about our experiences, with autism. Marg [/QUOTE]
