I was wondering if anyone had a child that has been diagnosed with SID? If so, what were/are some of the signs he or she had?

Thanks,

Cheri

I worked at a day care center where a little boy had it ! They did not know he had it until he was about 2 1/2! He cried a lot ! Did not want to be touched or held ! He did not want to be held even when he was being fed his bottle ! His mom said he was a very very difficult baby ! At 2 1/2 he could barely feed himself and wore more than he ate. Diaper change was horrible because he screamed the whole time we changed him. He was also one of the worst biters I have ever seen !
They finally diagnosed him and he had to go to physical and occupational therapy.
Not sure much help that is !

Is There Some Specific You Would Like To Know About?

Signs Can Be Anything From Not Liking Certain Sounds Or Touches, Being In Wide Open Spaces, Shopping Can Cause Too Much Stimulation, Parties With Too Many People Can Do The Same.

Our Daughter Developed Signs Of This At 9 Months Old But No One Would Listen To Me That Something Was Wrong. So I Pushed And Pushed And Finally At 15 Months She Was Diagnosed With S.i.d. And Mild Autism.

Through Change In Diet And Detoxing Her Naturally We See Very Little Signs Or Symptoms Left. She Is Brilliant, Speaks Beyond Her Age Now And Feeds Herself Completely And Drinks From An Open Cup. She Did Not Speak Or Walk Or Do Most Things At 1.5 Yrs Old That Kids Were Doing At 10 Months. She Is Not Only Caught Up But Some Would Say Surpasses Her Peers In Many Ways.

Wish I Knew How To Post Pics!!! If You Need Support Or Help I'm Here To Share What I Can. Truly If You Contact Your Local Intermediate Unit In Your Township They Will Be A Great Help To You. We Used Them For Two Years For Occupational And Physical Therapy.

Good Luck!

I posted a pretty comprehensive list on this old thread...my posts are down a few replies into the thread, with post #8 being the main list. Can we talk about Sensory Integration?..... My son has some minor sensory issues.

Hope this helps...good luck.

There is the other of side of this also where the child is a sensory seeker. One of my bio kids was this way. Running into walls on purose, licking windows and poles, sniffing people, ramming his head into me the entire time he was nursing. It is exhausting. There is a great book on the subject called " The Out-of-sync Child" by Carol Kranowitz.

Hi Cheri, My son also has sensory issues. He came home @ 3 years old. There are many different signs linked to sensory issues. You may want to do a google search, i found that to be very helpful. My son receives OT & PT weekly and is doing fantastic. Feel free to pm or email if you have any questions.

Lifessence kudos to you for pushing for your daughter......I know it has made a huge difference for my son as well. It is sad that many children, especially the older ones are regarded as having behavioural problems, when in fact they could be sensory issues.
