Thanks!

Yep you're absolutely right about the "lost in space" thing, this is in his OT assessment report. We've only had the one OT session (they're seeing us fortnightly) and they've got a big plan of what to do with my son. My special ed friend (son's former preschool teacher) used to use CBT on my son to help regulate him emotional response and it worked. She used his cognitive strengths and interests such as the human body and would explain that getting his "red face" (when angry) wasn't good for his blood pressure. He was able to calm down on his own by looking at himself in a mirror and doing deep breaths to a count of 10.

I've got the two "Out of Sync Child" books, I must start reading them asap but I'm also reading Deirdre Lovecky's "Different Minds", some Tony Attwood, the list goes on!
