New to the group

[Guest guest]

Hi

I am new to the group. I have a 5 year old daughter who has OCD. I started

noticing things when she was about 2 and my second child was born. She would

line up books and they had to be perfect or should would have a fit. Nothing I

did would calm her. She also would have a fit if I stopped singing in the middle

of a song or reading a book, tv show. I finally brought her to an OT who said

she had SPD, which was obvious with her problems about being wet. She STILL

holds her pee in b/c she does not like the feeling of being wet after and will

put toilet paper in her underwear after she has gone pee. After working with an

OT we saw some improvements but there still seemed to be a problem. Finally,

after 2 neuro peds telling me she was not on the spectrum, the last doc DX'd her

with anxiety and OCD.

The doc. suggested meds which I would prefer to wait on. I only have her in OT

for sensory stuff, we have an appt with a physc and I am still thinking about

doing ABA stuff.

Anyone have a child that was DX'd so young ? Any and all advice on

meds/therapists etc.
