thanks. over 2 yrs ago i dx her on that checklist and finding myself doign it again bc no one believed me. took her to a NP for an academic eval and no LD's (at age 6)--teachers don't know what i'm talking about and my family memebers think i am sick, making this up. but she smolders her issues all day and can't hide them quite well--works so hard....yes, at night she is irritable and an instigator--can't sleep and needs to be soothed to sleep. She is a compulsive squeezer (legs) in school and is being social outcast--so her anxieties are hig and she doesn't like when i leave her for work.....we are seeing a psychiatrist now for an eval and just did a ADD questionairre--she is not ADD in my opinion...a sensory seeker and slightly tactile defensive--seeks proprioceptive input with a tactile defensiveness---hard comination....won't want weighted blanket as she sleeps without top or blanket....she flies just under the radar and so nobody sees what i see...she cried and cried to me last night about not ever feeling normal. going to meeting in 15 minutes to see if ia can change my health ins so that OT can be covered...signle mom here......funds low...thanks.

AND thanks. i will for sure, eventually have her chat with someone on my lap.....thanks for that
