I've known for a long time that my DS5 was a little off kilter. But because we've put all of our time and energy on his physical well being, not a lot of time has been spent on his quirks.
That being said, he started Kindergarten a couple of weeks ago and those "quirks" have come back to bite me! Based on lots of reading, in particular "the mislabeled child" I am convinced that my son has a fairly serious case of SPD.
In order to get the school to move forward with any sort of accomodations and OT, I need to have him formally diagnosed. So the question is by who? I got very mixed info from my reading, some say a psychologist, a neuropsychologist, a neurologist, some say all three. So which is it? And is this something that requires someone specific or is this a more common diagnosis that is familiar to most in these professions?
Given my choice, I'd fly to the Eides but my money tree is just not growing!
