[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 606229, member: 13003"] Complex conundrum kid. been there done that. He's too young to test for APDs, especially auditory figure ground. But ask him (when he's calm, cool and collected) what he likes and doesn't like about school. If he says "it's too noisy"... that [I]might[/I] be partly sensory processing disorder (SPD), but it could also be a problem with auditory figure ground... Has he ever been assessed by the Occupational Therapist (OT) for motor skills issues? Is he a good sleeper - off to sleep in about 10 minutes, sleeps "quietly", wakes rested? or... is he asleep before he hits the pillow, OR takes forever to get to sleep, OR thrashes around half the night? If so, there may be sleep issues... or major fatigue issues from other problems (such as motor skills, Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), sensory processing disorder (SPD)...) Has he always been violent? or... did it get a lot worse when he started school? [/QUOTE]
