Sensory problems
by Dana
(Tx)
Hi, my son is 11 years old. He has ASD, diagnosed when he was 2 and half years old.
Since then we have tried so many therapies, like speech therapy, ABA. He has been on chelation, gf cf diet and many supplements. His speech is still very limited, he tries to talk but can't say many letters clearly. He is potty trained for the last five years, but now he has stopped making request to use restroom, he made many accidents, finally we decided to put him on pull-ups for school, as he is ok at home. Now he consistently use pull ups at school.
The other problem is his sensory issue, that is new. He loves to put stuff like sticker, paper in his mouth.
He really likes to eat fruit and he wants to bite fruit peel with his teeth. Makes tiny pieces and throw them in garbage.
Now he touches everything to the back of his dining chair,like shoes, iPad, plates and vice versa. He spins his body many times and then sit, even on his bed with his eyes closed. He likes to chew soap, try to put stuff in drainage like once in shower drainage he put my hair clips, nail clipper, ponytails and other stuff, or otherwise wants to put paper clippings in sink drainage.
I really looking forward guidance in this area, does he have SID?
Please, help.
