Some children with Sensory Processing Disorders present with symptoms that are characteristic of autism. This is the story of one family whose child was labeled autistic at a very young age. His parents were frustrated that the recommended behavioral approach (ABA) did not seem to be meeting his needs. They discovered that he has a Sensory Processing disorder and instituted therapy to address his sensory processing and incorporated a Floortime approach to working with him. And that made all the difference.
Great stuff on autism looking forward to more.
