I had him assessed by an OT after DD's diagnosis, about 18 months ago. She didn't see anything strong enough to suggest SPD. But I did wonder.
DD2 is a sensory seeker & he seemed to be an avoider, but he's improved since living here. None of the stuff he was doing then happens now.
Maybe if DD3 would start sleeping through I could handle it a bit better. But DD3 does exactly the same crap, without the melt downs.
I can handle DD2. When she gets worked up & uncontrollable, the only answer is to be hard & tough. Its the only way she can snap herself out of it. DS can't, or won't. If he does stop it lasts all of 3 seconds & something else happens to start it all over again. But DD's melt downs are so rare in comparison. Today we had 3 or 4, because she had a sleep over, but the last one would've been a week or more ago. We have good weeks & bad weeks with her. With DS there are just bad weeks, with the rare good day :/
I did wonder about that when I had him assesed efjay. But his social interaction & everything else seems to be normal. He's not great with adults, won't speak to them, but with kids, he's completely normal. He used to avoid more than one on one with kids, but he's fine now.
Maybe I need to see someone different to the OT? Maybe I'll need to do psycologist or something instead...
