Just re-read Carol Stock Kranowitz's book "The out of Sync child. What are peoples view on this book? She describes my son to a T. In particular she talks of vestibular problems, basically thats the process whereby the brain determines where you are in space. Kids with sensory probs have probs with the vestibulary function (apparently) and that is why they may shy away from experiences or seek them out.
I would really like to know what people think of this book, if they have read it. It explains my son so well and interestingly enough, it dosent mention ASD at all. It explains more than anything I have read how our neurology, when it gets disturbed prevents us from socialising, talking and imagining. Basically we have to have a sense of our environment in order to function.
