Hi
I'm looking for a bit of advice from anyone with some knowledge of sensory processing disorder.
I have a little boy who is nearly 6 and for a long time I have thought but tried to deny that he may have some sort of sensory disorder and looking to see if these characteristics fit.
These are the main things that make me think there may be something:
He screams the house down when I try to cut either his finger or toenails.
He cannot tolerate tags on clothes and clothes that are not very soft material.
He is very very easily distracted to the point where he has to sit at a table on his own at school.
He is terrified of the noise that handdryers make.
He cannot sit still for any period of time and always on the go.
He has no sense of fear and never sees anything as dangerous.
He likes extreme volume on to or tablet.
He is either one way or the other with affection. One day he can be full of hugs and kisses but others he will not let you near him although he is extremely affectionate with his little sister to the point where he will not leave her alone (hugging, kissing etc).
He hates to have socks on as they're touching his feet, you cannot go near his feet for him screaming.
He always repeats random noises for 5-10 minutes at a time, normally loud noises.
I don't know if this is related or not but he often poos in his pants.
I know all of these things suggest a boisterous little 6 year old but I feel there is just something.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks
