[QUOTE="fun fam, post: 606169, member: 15196"] SOrry, I just added a signature. It was mostly a vent. I understand sensory processing disorder (SPD) and that things feel different to him. difficult child has had many diagnoses from ODD (which I understand is not that helpful) to mood disorder to ADHD to now a-typical aspergers. ASDs do run in the family and I am pretty familiar with them. Our son seems like he has aspergers in every way except he is very "in tune" socially. Very popular in the neighborhood, makes friends super easy, other kids LOVE him, knows how to compromise during play, and he has good theory of mind skills. Our current therapist, who is supposedly one of the best in the state for ODD-type kids says he "can't quite figure out" our son. Its like he has aspergers, but none of the social/language components. Its almost like a new disorder needs to be created for him. We've seen 4 different therapists and we keep getting told he is such a complicated case. We try different things but he stays the same. Great with friends and so far at school---but a defiant, aggressive child at home. He was born full-term, lots of love and good care. He had sleep apnea for 2 years and I think that created a strong anxiety in him. Other than that though, he has not had any hardship that I know of. oh and no medication so far. Several members of our family have tried medications for years, and no one has found relief, only weird side effects. So I'm hesistant to try. [/QUOTE]
