[quote=Anonymous]Op this sounds a lot like my son. I would suggest taking yours to a developmental pediatrician. My son has similar sensory issues, and his dev pediatrician has indicated he might get a adhd diagnosis as well. He also gave my son a dx of dsypraxia - basically because he is not aware of his body in space and his coordination is sometimes off.

Because of his issues we had to pull him from a regular daycare/preschool and put him in a therapeutic one - we were getting to the point where the daycare was ready to ask us to leave - our son was hitting, pushing, not sitting for circle time....basically because his body was so disregulated and his teachers had no understanding of what was happening. Instead they would punish him and send him to the office. It was horrible. He is so much better off where he is now. (he is 4.5 by the way).

The therapeutic preschool has much smaller class sizes, more teachers and one on one attention - he is also getting speech and OT while there. I am not in the DC area, FYI, so I can't make recommendations, but I would be surprised if there aren't any near where you live. This kind of environment sounds much more suited to your son.

If you have not read it yet, get Raising a Sensory Smart Child. It well help a lot. To echo what PP said, I would not be surprised if our son has anxiety as well. I hope you find the answers and help you need.[/quote]
