[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 27542, member: 1550"] Hi, and welcome. I'm sure you're GREAT parents, but you have kids who show signs of certain disorders. I'd want them assessed by a multi-disciplinary evaluation team. I'm wondering if they have any Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). I'll post an online test you can take for both of your sons. I'm thinking that also a neuropsychologist may be good for your kids--they do intensive testing. Whatever you decide, the earlier you get help, the better the later-on-prognosis. Look at your family tree for hints--any psychiatric or substance abuse problems? Autism, either high or low functioning? "Quirky" relatives? Anxiety over really seemingly silly things are big sensory issues, which go hand and hand with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)--such as fear of change, dislike of loud noises, textures, certain foods--and these kids also tend to parallel play rather than play with other kids. Any speech delays? My son used to bang his head on the wall--he has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. Nobody here can diagnose. This is just something to consider. I'd get that MDE. Don't rely on your pediatrician or, in my opinion, a non-MD therapist, other than a neuropsychologist, who has training in the brain.
