[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

11:41 - to answer your question, it's funny, I don't remember all the specific reasons we pursued the initial diagnosis, but I do remember at the time DS' extremely high level of energy (his old daycare teachers at the time would describe him as "too happy") and challenging tantrummy-behaviors that we found difficult to control. He was constantly touching things and people -- he had a strong need for sensory input. Plus, his strong interest in cars/trains.

Thanks to everyone who responded with their perspectives. 11:46 - I really appreciate your thoughtful response. Your story gives me hope. I Reading that he is doing well and happy brings me to tears because this really is all I want for my boy. He's been really struggling lately with lack of sleep and it's difficult to determine if this is the main driver of the behaviors or if it's all related.

I feel so helpless because I want to FIX the issues and I don't know how. Add my own sleep-deprivation to the mix, and it's no surprised my anxiety has heightened to a very unhealthy level.

Anyway, I really appreciate the suggestions and thoughtful comments. Good luck to you all.[/quote]
