I am worried that my son’s diagnose is wrong. He is diagnosed with SID (Sensory Integration Disorder) and he is on prescribed therapy for it. I started to suspect while I was talking to his school teacher. As he described me his behavior, his impulsivity and nervousness, it sounded to me as ASHD. Is it possible that he is wrongly diagnosed?
I think it is. This is not the first time I read something like that. The problem is that SID is many times diagnosed as ADHD too. Thing is that most ADHD kids also have SID not all SID kids are ADHD. I would ask for second opinion if I were you.
