[quote=Anonymous]Disagreeing with many others here. Because many of the kids here on this forum have special needs, they assume kids with SPD also have another special need or a diagnosis. However usually only a small window of kids with SPD behaviors are diagnosed with anything else. As a matter of fact, most parents don’t even realize their kids have SPD until they start seeing someone about anxiety.  Because kids with sensory issues tend to exhibit signs of anxiety.

I think seeing a therapist about the anxiety, mentioning her SPD issues (sensory seeking or sensory avoiding or a mix) will help her get on track. If the therapist notices anything anything else then you can look into a neuro evaluation.  But if your child’s teachers or pediatrician are not seeing any ADHD signs or other signs, I think going in for an expensive evaluation is a waste of time.

If she is that social, independent, and works well in school, I think you are just looking at some anxiety related to sensory issues. [/quote]
