There is a book entitled The Out of Sync Child, which addresses the issue.
Both of my children have it. There is of course a spectrum, but your son is young and can go to a sensory gym where they teach him to process information and not to get overwhelmed by the sounds, sights, textures etc. Although it sounds overwhelming, most people have some type of sensory issue, only when you were a child no one labeled it.
When they conduct an OT evaluation, ask to fill our a sensory profile and for the state to consider offering you the sensory.
A couple of tips that mught be useful. Do not keep a lot of toys out. The chaos can be overwhelming. If he gets too excited, rock him in quiet/dark room.. Ask the OT to teach you how to do joint compressions. Try starting the day with them and/or applying them when he starts to get riled up. ↑ |
