Thanks for reading. I should have mentioned we did go down the OT path for sensory processing disorder about 1.5 years ago and while its clear he is sensory seeking, the OT didn't think there was anything extreme and his sensory seeking has improved on its own although it still exists.

But I can tell you from a parents perspective, this doesn't seem to be his main issues.

The reason I included it here is because SENSUAL OVEREXCITABILITY is one key facet that characterizes gifted children. Otherwise, it doesn't seem relevant in terms of triggering bad behavior.
