Oh Yeah - textures. Due to allergies I went out and bought microfiber comforters that dust mites can't get into. Turns out that DS hates that slippery texture.
When DS gets anxious, his behavior can get stuck into rigid patterns, that to school folks looks like 'intermittent AS.' Which doesn't exist.
DS is diagnosed with ADD, so he is 2e, but AS was ruled out by one of the abovementioned experts, so I just nod and say - 'Hummm'
In a way, I'd rather have the school folks thinking AS-like than SOB.
But yeah, DS does fall apart under high stress - less every year, but most adults I know still have their moments, yes?
Love and More Love,
Grinity
