Thank you so much for that excellent article, it described our experience exactly. I never could understand where to draw the line between OEs, SPD and high sensitivity and intensity, (or, for variety, traits of ASD or ADHD.). It does appear that in HG+ Kids a lot of lines get blurred and you have to approach each problem from a clinical/functional viewpoint. What's the kid doing, is it a problem, what might help?

Ini DS7's case, it even varies with the seasons...fall and winter are much worse than spring and summer...
