About LinkBacksChance has an appt with another pediatrician tomorrow to discuss his sensory/behavior issues. I have not talked too much about it on this board, but I am having a really tough time dealing with it. I have posted some about it on my blog and another board. At this point I am just in survival mode with my DS. He has become extremely agressive and is a major daredevil...he does things continually that hurt himself (ie. literally diving from the top of the couch or table to the floor...the higher and wilder the better), along with being increasingly unable to control himself much at all. It just keeps getting worse with each passing week. They told me a few months ago that he has ADHD, then this month ODD (which I think is wrong...I think that it is a SPD Sensory Processing Disorder from everything that I have researched, but that is why we are going tomorrow). I have been so sick over worrying about him and wondering what I am doing wrong. I have been fighting with my Mom because she thinks that he has some type of autism (I have a brother with Asperger's)...but I disagree. Again...I know that I am not a doctor but he does not show any major autistic characteristics (he has good social skills)...however, he has a LOT of the SPD and ADHD symptoms. I know that he is really young to be diagnosed and that many children are mis-diagnosed or overtreated...but the extremes in his behavior have to lead us somewhere at this point. I have to where long sleeves to cover the deep ruises on my arms from where he has been hitting on me this week. I am just heartbroken over all of this, and I want some help. I do not want medicaction for him...just some help for both of us to cope with his erratic behaviors. Thanks for listening.

Each day as I watch you struggle I am reminded to find joy in the little things, to stop and smell the flowers, and that some things are more important than material things. Your smile melts my heart, and takes the chronic pain away, if only for a fleeting moment. Thank you for the joy that you bring, my son.

Good Luck, Sylvia! Has Chance been evaluated by Early Intervention? They can diagnos Sensory Disorders at this age, Talon was screened for it. Chance may qualify for some kind of EI, maybe they can help with some of the things you are talking about so meds won't be necessary.
