[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 410492, member: 1233"] Hi and welcome! I will do a longer post later - my hands are bad today. Get the Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation as soon as you can. My youngest has Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) (sensory integ disorder) and it has lead to majro problems. the psychiatrists and esp the neuropsychologist that I have spoken with (he saw one psychiatrist, the other was seeing my daughter and I asked about this) said that by treating the Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) early (age 3 or 4 was the diagnosis but we did the right thigns before sort of by accident), we very likely kept it from developing to the point where he got an asperger's diagnosis. We all (my side) have autistic traits but the help for Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) was enough to help him learn to handle them before things got bad enough that they warranted the aspie diagnosis. The neuropsychologist said that they are on a spectrum - Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and autism - and sometiems the right treatment for one part of the problem can keep others from getting worse. But it isn't enough in many cases and you cannot be upset if you didn't get help earlier. You do the best you can when you can.
