Hi all. First time poster. I’ve just recently come across this site, and it looks like a wonderful thing. I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with AD(H)D and/or Sensory Processing Disorder. We’ve wondered about our eldest, who is 6 in Feb, for a couple years now, on and off. She’s a bright kid, full of spark, and doesn’t seem to have any trouble making friends. She’s just finished kindergarten and for now, there don’t seem to be any major learning difficulties except for distraction. That being said, she is exhibiting some behaviours which are starting to concern us. The most recent is that she is constantly either humming or clicking. This has really been peaking recently, and when I looked it up yesterday I discovered SPD. Some of the other symptoms are: Being overly busy/fidgeting Cant sit still Slumping at the dinner table Dragging herself along walls. Always bumping into things and tripping over stuff. Has some trouble using utensils for meals. She has always had a bit of a selfish/greedy streak, and is prone to stuffing her self with food, especially with lollies at parties. She has also forever been a very messy kid. I should mention that she has a great creative flair - loves drawing, painting, colouring, singing, dancing, swinging/hanging, generally being a monkey. We’re planning on starting her in gymnastics in term 1 next year, and are now waiting to hear back about starting her early in the holiday program. We’re hoping this will burn up some excess energy. We’re not terribly keen on the idea of medication at this point. Does anyone have any ideas/experiences/recommendations? My apologies for the long winded post. Merry Christmas ... View more
