[QUOTE="nvts, post: 421729, member: 3814"] Hey Kelly! It doesn't sound bad...a diagnosis at this point would be a breath of fresh air! Remember: most of us go nuts trying to tell the free world the "something isn't right" - then the rest of the free world manages to make us question whether or not we're good parents (or that we're nuts! lol!)! A diagnosis would remove any and all self-doubt. It also allows us to look into the appropriate interventions that will allow our kids to be the most productive people that they can be. While you're investigating the sensory stuff, do yourself a favor. Try and keep track of the issues surrounding the outbursts. See if you might begin to see a pattern emerge. It'll help you figure out ways to either try to work around them OR to identify the triggers. It can be a quick scribble in a notebook. Right now, it all seems willful or as you said "when he doesn't get his way". Keep your eyes and ears peeled. Are you noticing that he gets high strung when certain sights, sounds, smells, textures, etc. might be going on? For example: if he fights you putting on a shirt. Right now, in your eyes, he just doesn't want to get dressed so he's having a tantrum. Could there be a tag on the shirt that itches him? Could the material be something that just makes his skin crawl? He may not have the language to explain it, but sensory kids can actually feel pain from an itchy tag or "icky" material. Just a thought! Others will pop-in as the night progresses (as will I - it's hit or miss with the Collective being home!). Talk soon! And I'm glad we're able to give you a tiny bit of "peace of mind"! Beth [/QUOTE]
