[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 359097, member: 1233"] The food can be a problem when they have sensory issues. When Wiz was in the psychiatric hospital they didn't want to put tomatoes on the list of stuff he cannot have because he loves pizza and lasagna. But he gags on anything with bits of tomato in it or with a tomato base (like chili or spaghetti sauce). He ended up barfing up a few meals so they worked it out and stopped offering him foods that made him gag. I warned them, LOL. Before he leaves the psychiatric hospital, ask that their Occupational Therapist (OT) teach you the brushing therapy. It helps a LOT for the Occupational Therapist (OT) issues. It helps the brain rewire itself somehow. It helped my youngest handle his issues to the point he has not missed a single day of school this year (4th grade) due to being overwhelmed from sensory stuff. In kdg he missed at least 1 day a week because he was too overwhelmed and his class only had 14 students. Even in 2nd grade he missed at least 10 days a quarter. It is super important you have an Occupational Therapist (OT) teach you how to do the brushing and joint compressions. Doing them incorrectly can cause real problems. It is fairly simple once you have done it a time or two. Takes less than 2-3 minutes to do the entire thing. Read The Out of Sync Child and The Out of Wync Child Has Fun for more ways to help.
