[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 573825, member: 11791"] OK... he has an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis? Aspie is part of that - and in the new DSM, it's all rolled together anyway. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is pervasive (as is Aspie, for the record). Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are [I]likely[/I] to have traits of a number of other dxes that can also stand alone... but they are part of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD): - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - ADHD - sensory processing disorder (SPD) - Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) - Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) - and other stuff....... He's FIVE. Not 10 or 15. He is probably going crazy.... from what he is dealing with. Not that you aren't trying... "SP, DI, Occupational Therapist (OT)..., social skills group... etc." Sleep issues are huge. Not getting enough quantity and quality of sleep is a recipe for... all sorts of behavior problems. (been there done that). Sensory issues are huge. Is he sensory seeking, or sensory avoiding? what are you doing to help that? School is a huge issue, because he may have learned how to handle his old routines, but the transition into "real" school can be a disaster... way too many simultaneous transitions going on. But remember... it is NOT YOU. As in... you can't just change some parenting approach and magically have a new kid. You might need to learn some alternative approaches etc., but... it's not because you are a bad parent. If you were? He wouldn't have his dxes at age 5. [/QUOTE]
