[QUOTE="SRL, post: 152224, member: 701"] Those do sound like tic behaviors to me--maybe bladder and breathing. Bowel is hard to determine because kids with sensory sensitivities that you are describing often have bowel problems as well for that reason. My difficult child was doing vocal and respiratory tics and I didn't recognize them as such either. If you already have a child on the Autistic Spectrum then I would suggest looking in that neighborhood first. Having one child on the spectrum increases the liklihood that siblings will be as well. Parents often report that it's not as easy to recognize in sibs because often they will present somewhat differently. Also, if the child is borderline on meeting the criteria, it's really hard to know what you're looking at. The sensitivities sound like Sensory issues and like tics are common with Autistic Spectrum, but not a part of the diagnostic criteria since all kids don't have them. Here's an article: [url]http://www.tsbvi.edu/seehear/fall97/sensory.htm[/url] I'd recommend you pick up a copy of this book even if you have to order it. Are you in the UK? An assessment by an occupational therapist is indicated here--therapy for sensory issues works best when it's tackled at home, therapy, and school.

My difficult child would hold it together in loud noisy assemblies at school and then melt down the moment I picked him up at school. [/QUOTE]
