[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 604595, member: 11791"] Can't speak to the selective mutism but... I have two kids with very different presentation of essentially the same umbrella diagnosis. How can that happen? Because... the diagnosis is NOT the symptoms. For example, sensory: One kid is hypo-sensitive to touch, the other is hyper-sensitive. The similarity is... they process physical sensory input different than "normal". Once you're "different", that "different" can go in all kinds of different directions. It's not the direction but the "difference" that defines the issue. One kid craves extreme spice, another can't handle black pepper. One kid craves adrenalin rush, another avoids it at all costs (sensory-seeking vs. sensory avoiding) The hard part for me was that these are "normal" differences... just taken to extremes! [/QUOTE]
