[QUOTE="Malika, post: 463596, member: 11227"] Thanks, Susiestar. I don't know... J doesn't really have this level of sensitivity to clothes, etc - he has [B]never[/B] complained about labels or seams (and, believe me, if he had any cause for complaint, he would!). Occasionally he has said a place was too loud, as though his ears were hurting, and when he was a baby I used to think that he became overstimulated by noise, colours, etc. In any case, no-one in my part of France seems to have heard of sensory integration disorder, so what good going down that road? I can't explore it any further in terms of analysis or treatment. Thanks also, Janet. I think J is explosive, unfortunately... at the same time, he is much less explosive than he was so there's a moral in there somewhere. Main thing with him is really this physical hyperactivity - he doesn't ever, ever, walk slowly when we are outside. He runs, he races, he zooms... I've got used to it and it doesn't faze me any more. For me it is now "normal" - not so for others who do not know and accept him, of course. This morning there was a vide grenier in our village (= what I think you call yard sale?) and this rather catty old lady that I've never really warmed to saw J racing around saying "Attack! Attack!" (playing with a toy) and said to me as she has before, rather snidely "How does he get on in school, your little boy?" (translation: "Is he a horrific nuisance in school, your little boy?") In other words, physical hyperactivity = little hooligan... I can see the progress I've made, let alone him, by saying to her in a rather pointed tone, "Oh yes, fine - he's really no different from the other children!" I could see she was a bit put out...
