Actually, our girls sound quite similar Christy, similar age and similar sensory profile. Mine also has issues with speech. She's at about 3 yo level lingually.
FJ- yes, it is common to tick quite a few of the boxes, and they can switch between the extremes when anxious. For instance, my daughter will normally seek people out to kiss and hug them, but when she's stressed, like she was when we had her in school for longer, she didn't want anyone to touch her and if they did she's punch them in the face. On a normal day mine is auditory avoider, under-responsive vestibular and proprioception, and sensory seeking everything else. We went through a horrible stage where she would lick everything, including public toilet doors - gross! When she gets over-stimulated we do things similar to what Christy said, or send her to her cave, where she puts her headphones on and listens to music.
Christy - Out of curiosity, whose you OT through, are they private or through somewhere like Aspect?
