My DD, who is 6 was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder last year. I have just found the most fabulous OT right here where we live and ashlea has been having one on one sessions with her and its just so good.
As she gets older she is easier to deal with, about 2 - 3 years the sensory processing problems peaked big time and in turn i had a massaive melt down when i saw a peadiatrician that apparently had no clue at all and told her she was 'completely fine' after me spending an hour telling him all her 'quirks'
One month later she was diagnosed by a specialist within 10 minutes of being there.
She still struggles with the ups and downs of her nervous system being out of whack, constantly hyperactive and high strung, very emotional and gets very frustrated easily but she is coming along really well.
Christy, I also read The curious incident of the dog in the night time and LOVED it. My partner bought it for me and I was hooked within the first page, but it really does help to understand a different world and though pattern then what we know.
