Charlie Update
New post on AllAboutCharlie.com = Results I got today from his neuro testing two weeks ago.
I must say I’m not thrilled that they weren’t more helpful. But it furthered my opinion that his senosry issues are causing his ADHD symptoms .
So much so that I came home and Googled my idea and found that I’m not the first to have this idea. There is a book called The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder
And it is specifically about how ADHD is often mistakenly diagnosed (and drugged), when it’s really a sensory integration disorder that is causing discomfort and thus fidgeting and being easily distracted. I will definitely be pursuing sensory integration therapy before I consider adhd drugs again for Charlie. I don’t think they were right for him, and I often thought they were detrimental.
