[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 537570, member: 8045"] Thanx for your support! Yes Buddy the whole non bio, same issues thing is actually funny....When oldest was diagnosed with asthma, I was so overwhelmed....then little one came along....5 yrs later doctor said, he has asthma too.....I was like Oh, ok....thats easy, I know how to handle that! The strange thing with little dude is this: If you write down the symtoms he has....there is no doubt that he must have some kind of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).......BUT.......when I am with him....I dont always totally get that feeling. It's almost as if he makes all of us a bit confused.....His teacher thinks, autism....first his ST said autism, then after a while, working with him......no it's only his speech delay causing his nonresponsiveness at times.....his Occupational Therapist (OT) says definitly not autism....its Sensory Integration Disorder (SID)......Thats why I thought maybe the psychiatrist will have better insight and knowledge. The thing that stands out most is that sometimes....often.....when you ask him something, like, do you want poridge....no response.....exct. Personally I think its a language processing and SI problem....like pulling his shirt over his arms and head in the class....wanting to put on gloves, exct. But his selfhelp skills is great...goes to the loo by himself, dresses, eats, drinks....He has so much compassion for others....puts on the light for me, ask if I am ok, loves friends and has plenty. The thing that upsetted us is the thought of him not being able to stay in this private school, close to our home.....Me and hubby really dont see him going to a special need school with mentally challenged kids.....We actually dont know what is done for kids with normal IQ but who has so many SI issues that it restricts his abbility to learn in mainstream with all the overwhelming sensory stimulation.....
