Guest guest Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 So...I had parent teacher conferences yesterday. The staff explained to me that the stimming only happens between certain times of the day (ie. 9am-lunch)and that he has a high craving for carbs...I found that weird so I asked his peditrician who recommended the neurologist. So I made an appt. and preceded to take him to his scheduled therapy appt. We arrived at the therapy appt( which I moved to a time that normaly he would be in school) and he was very lethargic and non responsive. So I asked him if he wanted to go home and he said no. So he stayed and with in 20 minutes he was stimming like crazy and bouncing off the walls (literally)...The therapist gave him some gf pretzels and some juice and with in 20 minutes he settled down and went to sleep. So we thought sugar levels and try and feed him every 1 1/2 hours. This morning he was a lot more calmer and according to his teacher he was very quiet in class and only did some stimming but when she gave him his protein snack he stopped. I told his peditrician what happened and she said ...I would still go to the neurologist....crazy this sounds more like the endocrinologist that the neurologist. Unfortunately, in this town you can not make an appt with an pediatric endo. without your peditrician referring you. How do I make her do that..... > > > > > > My 6 yr is stimming alot more at school. He really doesnt do this behavior at home. I have him at a sensory clinic but it seems to only be more benefical at home than in school. He spends half the day in the Kindergarten room and the second half in the special ed room. He only stims in the kindergarten room.
