| Hi Vivienne. :) Thank you for looking out for me. :) You are right. And the logic is pretty obvious to everyone, including yours truly. That said, there are very few practical resources for me to do anything "extra" for myself at this point. Even if there were money and most of all, any extra time, ... |

| Hi DW. :) -Since I'm on-line at the moment, I thought I would try to respond to this bit from the conversation between you and Callista: - - Sensory integration therapy may be helpful; but he also needs to learn about how to regulate sensory input (you know, sunglasses, comfortable clothing, earplug... |

| Hi Mother Knows Best. :) - This was a life saver to me. It was like it was written about my child. There were lots of things in there that were just like her, but that I'd never mentioned to the pyschologist as I never realised it was relevant. It helped me get the right diagnosis as it showing me w... |

| Hi, DW a mom. :) - First, I want to tell you how much my heart goes out to you for all you have been through as a family. I am sure you are very, very tired; you have had SO much on your plate. Thank you. Validation is sweet from time to time. :) - Second, there is good reason to suspect AS in the f... |

| Hi Callista. :) - That is sensory integration disorder. And so glaringly obvious, at least to me, that I am really surprised no one has caught it by now! It's probably being complicated by the executive dysfunction he has from his ADHD, so that when the sensory overload frustrates him, he can't plan... |

| Hi Jat. :) - It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of issues, and it's a bit hard to tease out what you're really looking for, in the way of advice. With that caveat, I'll give it a try! Thank you. :) - It is very hard to get a school district to look at sensory integration issues in students, ev... |

| Thanks for the welcome and wishes, weeksend. :) I was up all night after a late night meltdown from my middle son, and I'm now having brain freeze without the cold ice cream. :wink: Hopefully, I'll wake up with a clearer head, better able to communicate thoughtfully and concisely. Good night everyon... |

| Thank you, Scientist. :) I see from your profile that you were recently diagnosed. Could you share a little about how that came about and what was beneficial or not about the experience? If you'd rather not, I understand. I'm looking for info to help me help my family, but not necessarily go through... |

Thanks for the welcome and the tip, Richie.
It didn't register in my brain that this thread wasn't the place for a big story until after I posted such a book. Sorry.

| Hi. New here. I've spent a bit of time browsing the forums, and this looks like a very supportive place. I'm hoping that someone can either help me directly, point me in a good direction or just tell me I'm not nuts for trying to get to the bottom of a long-standing family mystery which has slowly t... |
