[QUOTE="SRL, post: 10838, member: 701"] My difficult child has Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) which has been *very* serious at times. Foods and food odors became so severe at one point he was hysterical over the sight of regular food at the table and food odors seriously impacted functioning. It wasn't mistaken for anything else and it rarely stands alone so if your kiddo has Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) the liklihood is high that something else is there as well. My difficult child's Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) goes hand in hand with the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) traits he exhibits but what I have observed is that his Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) highly impacts his other issues and visa versa. Probably more with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) than any of his other issues. When he was flared up with anxiety, his Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) was at an all time high and if I'd been seeking out a diagnosis then someone without experience may have easily diagnosed him with Bipolar because it was that similar. Once he was stable again the BiPolar (BP) type symptoms (periods of manic behaviors, etc) subsided. medications won't help Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) but therapy, accomodations, and helping the child learn preventative and coping strategies will. If a child's issues (ie ADHD) would get in the way of those being implemented successfully then there may be some secondary benefit. If you suspect Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), the best thing to do is to get a private evaluation because the school is only required to assess and treat those issues that impact the child in the educational setting. But to be treated effectively there has to be coordination between home and school, it's not just a 7 hour a day thing. [/QUOTE]
