[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 573955, member: 1550"] in my opinion he needs to see a neuropsychologist. He in my opinion is not wired normally, which is not uncommon or a bad thing but he has a lot of red flags for some sort of autistic spectrum disorder, including the sensory processing disorder (SPD), the not liking hugs, the overreaction to stimuli, the outbursts, the opposition to authority...I'd definitely have him evaluated thoroughly. THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT! He was probably born this way by your description and you can't change that by changing your parenting, although there are strategies that may help him. The first step is to do the evaluation. If it turns out he does have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or something similar, you may qualify for respite services so you can get a break. It is good that he is already seeing an Occupational Therapist (OT) because, even if she is very young, she has the right idea! My son had to be brushed and wore a weighted vest too. However, even if he will let you touch him, that is likely not going to be enough intervention for your little guy. He needs a diagnosis and more assistance as do you. Gentle hugs. Hope you do pursue the evaluation. [/QUOTE]
