    I've considered everything at this point it feels like. I'm not certain about OCD because it isn't every time there is a transition. He has good days and bad days and I think I read OCD isn't an on and off thing, right? Also chiropractic adjustments that help autistic kids help him, but if he is on the spectrum it would probably be non-specified because he doesn't fit into any of the other categories!!!

    Also everything has to be "just so", but the "just so" changes. Like the bottle has to be to EXACTLY this level most days but one day it has to be to THIS level or the world will end...

    Breakaway, it was a similar program, but they changed the laws about who was accepted in July. Before then and he would have qualified. I'd reapply with the video, but he's going to be 3 in Feb. so by the time the paperwork went through he'd be too old for the program.

    With OCD, there are certainly good days and bad days. It's simply one more idea to evaluate. If you saw a psychiatrist and explored that route and it did nothing to help then you know it wasn't correct and can cross that one off your list.

    Quick update on Bear. We've gone through the school district and they can't give him OT because he doesn't have other problems. Good news no autism or other issues, but bad news is there are definite significant sensory and auditory issues. They just aren't enough to get him help. Sigh... Bonus is the psych and OT are going to talk me through home OT, some of which is already working really well. 3 nights and counting without waking up during the night and actually going to bed easily!!!! Woo HOO! They've also lent me a weighted blanket that we're going to try out starting tonight.
