Sensory Development Disorder - 5 year old

I wonder if there is someone out there can help my fraught husband and I? My 5 DS has been diagnosed with a Sensory Development Disorder, as a result, we do have quite a difficult child. Last weekend we brought him a new bed, a midi sleeper with steps as we thought he's a big boy now. We have now had a battle on our hands with him staying in bed - we had something similar to this a few years ago and it just seems he's gone completely backwards. We got his old bed out and surprise surprise he's gone to sleep. My husband spent all last weekend putting the bed together and now I feel I just want to get my money back!!! Has anyone else had this problem of not staying in bed and having tantrums about it? I'm not sure if his condition is related to this behaviour trait. Does anyone have a child with sensory development disorders?? Any help/advice would be appreciated, I am so upset and sad :(......perhaps the best thing is to ignore his continuing getting up, but it's hard when you've done a days work and your ready bed yourself!!!!

hi there-you could try posting on Special needs children?
A few of us on there have kids with sensory issues
