[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 604634, member: 1550"] What is Selective Mutism? It is diagnosed rarely here except in the case of severe trauma (a child could once speak, then was kidnapped and now does not). Is that what you mean? A speech delay with sensory issues to boot in the US would be probably seen as likely a spectrum child. But there is a difference between a child who can speak and won't and one who can't or has trouble with it. Sensory issues usually mean something else is going on besides the sensory issues. My son has sensory issues and he is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I have sensory issues and I have a mood disorder and neurological soft signs that can not be identified as any specific disorder...but they are there. Any interventions available for this kiddo? The sensory stuff can be made better, but I don't think it ever completely goes away. It's not ALWAYS a bad thing. Both me and Lucas (and nobody else in our family) can smell if one of our doggies has a poop accident indoors even if we are three rooms away. Tom and Jumper will say, "I don't smell anything" but both of us know!!!! Our sense of smell, along with hearing and touch, Is very sensitive :) A big plus if you want to get that poop off the floor pronto :)) [/QUOTE]
