Hi there. My son is 6 years old, and I'm convinced that he has SPD. I've always known that something was off, but I couldn't convince a medical professional or Early Intervention when he was younger. He only survived 9 days of Kindergarten this past September, when I made the choice to homeschool after a lot of prayer. The school was starting the process of doing a Child Study Team evaluation, but I just couldn't bear to see him in so much stress and pain. They also were not handling his bathroom issues well (he doesn't know when he has to go). I took him to a private Psychologist, and he was diagnosed as ADHD-NOS, but I'm just not convinced. They are pushing meds, as is my pediatrician. The good thing from that evaluation was the recommendation for an OT evaluation. We went one time, and the OT gave me a lot of paperwork. I've been reading a lot on the Web, and SPD really seems to make sense. But he hasn't been officially diagnosed. Do I go back to the pediatrician? His office gave me a script for the OT, but I haven't talked with him about SPD, just ADHD. I'm also not sure what how to proceed with his bathroom issues, he has been seeing a GI specialist, but after treating it solely as a withholding problem and daily laxatives, he is still having major issues. I pushed for further testing, and the results are consistent with SPD in my opinion, but the GI specialist doesn't seem familiar with SPD. Oh, and he had an abnormal thyroid reading, so we're having that tested again. We see the OT again tomorrow. Do I ask her for a plan? I feel like I have a few pieces of the puzzle which is my son, but I don't know how they go together yet.
