[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 34085, member: 1550"] Frankly, I think a re-evaluation every year is a good idea with a younger child who isn't getting better. Now he is exhibiting some traits of Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) which could be Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), which is often mistaken for ADHD/ODD. Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) combined with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a big red flag for autistic spectrum disorder. Confused yet? [img]:smile:[/img] So were we.
