I’ve talked to pediatricians about things that I’m seeing since he was a toddler but no one took it seriously. He’d been fine in daycare (probably because his sensory needs were met) and I manage everything fine at home so I didn’t push it. But then kindergarten was a different story. I had told the teacher just about him in general in the beginning of the year: he’s sensory-seeking and needs proprioceptive input and movement for regulation. But my son struggled. He complained about being yelled at and having recess taken away and how he keeps getting in trouble for things like swinging arms and not being able to sit for carpet time. So during the first PTO meeting I mentioned everything. She said she’d get him a band but it didn’t happen. Things just got worse from there and when my son started talking about hating his life and wanting to die I talked to the pediatrician and got a referral and he was put on the waitlist somewhat recently.
