[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 546149, member: 11791"] Remember that I'm just another parent with a challenging kid... but the "munching on [I]stuff"[/I] bit? Almost sounds like a sensory issue. Speaking of which... has your son ever had a comprehensive evaluation? (neuropsychologist, or child behavioral/developmental team at a teaching hospital, or equivalent?) Ever had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory and motor skills challenges? The Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation would reveal any sensory processing or sensory integration disorders. These can be stand-alone, but often go with disorders like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Asperger's. My difficult child has sensory challenges and is not on the autism spectrum - but has an alphabet soup of dxes that often go WITH an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie diagnosis, if that makes sense. It's not uncommon for our challenging kids to be complicated! Sensory and/or motor skills issues are treated with Occupational Therapist (OT) therapy, and other interventions and accommodations, no medications. [/QUOTE]
