[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 95005, member: 3647"] Hi and welcome again. Glad you felt up to sharing tonight! Well, none of us are doctors, but as I read your post, Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) went running through my mind. Don't know if you are familiar with it, but many of "our" kids on the board have it. It is sensory integration dysfunction (or disorder). A child who has it processes sensory input differently. Things that may sound fine to us may be very loud to them, for example. Certain textures may cause a problem (does he have an issue with certain items of clothing? Request the same ones over & over? Food texture issues? Chewing on clothes or toys?). They may avoid (or, they may crave) motion. Many kids with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) can suffer from "sensory overload" if there is too much stimulation in one place. I walked into a craft store the other day and was assaulted by the scent of cinnamon, the sound (loud) of Christmas music, and the sight of Christmas lights everywhere. If I had my daughter with me, she would have flipped. It is good that you have him seeing a social worker. Many mommies here advocate seeing a neuropsychologist for an accurate diagnosis. I have not gotten one for my child yet (can't afford it! Whew!) but she sees a psychiatrist monthly. She also receives therapy from an occupational therapist, who helps her with the sensory issues. I hope you pouring your heart out was relatively painless. I also hope you get a few replies tonight. If you don't, please don't worry. This place will be hopping tomorrow! (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
