[QUOTE="agee, post: 330610"] We've had a sensory integration evaluation. done - when he was 3. They found him moderately sensory seeking. We could not afford the Occupational Therapist (OT), however. It was something like $180/week and we didn't qualify for sliding scale nor would our insurance cover it. We did a lot of stuff at home and he's had massive improvement from when we got him. I have all the sensory books, too, but it's probably time to look at them again. I like the idea of beans and rice bin. At the grocery store he runs to the bulk bins and shoves his hands in them (!) I sure hope people wash their beans before eating them. So - perhaps this is a manifestation of the sensory integration dysfunction. When we got him he was actually very affectionate and used to being touched. He wasn't the horror-story (actually, typical) orphanage baby. He went from indiscriminate affection to stranger shy within a couple of months. So like I said, I don't rule out attachment issues but when we got him he wasn't as obviously damaged as many. Not saying he wasn't damaged or he didn't have a rough start - he was and did - but we were all lucky in our first few months. So - here's my baby: He probably has Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). He probably has attachment problems. I worry about Bipolar. I need to start saving for a therapeutic treatment program. I can see the writing on the wall. We all need therapy. My husband and I need prescriptions to anti-depressants and Xanax or maybe we need to drink more. (jk!) Maybe he's on the autism spectrum (although I'm still very skeptical of this). He definitely needs medication. adjustment. I CANNOT WAIT until our neuropsychologist appointment! Thanks everyone. Today I am going to be caaaaaaalllllllmmmmmm. [/QUOTE]
