Guest guest Posted April 28, 2000 Report Share Posted April 28, 2000 Hi Tammy, Many of our children (on this list) have some traits of sensory integration disorder. My daughter used to have an extreme struggle with her clothing and still finds it bothersome though manageable. She is six and does have OCD as her primary diagnosis. We're not sure whether the Prozac she takes helps with the SID or if the overall treatment of her OCD, including therapy, has lessened her anxiety to the point where the sensory stuff is bearable. When I hear lots of tactile and sensory complaints from her I send her out to the back yard to do 15 or 20 mintues on the swing. The motion really seems to help. Take care, Lesli > tammy wrote: > > Hi Kathy, > Thank you for responding to my post.. le just started seeing > a new dr for her anxiety about a month ago... She is on 20 mg of > imipramine per day.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 What IS SID and what is tactile defensiveness? I forgot to say that I'm a single Mum with 3 kids. Ami's Dad refuses to accept any mental disorder, especially as any excuse for her rudeness at times....... Alice Re: Compulsions w/o obsessions .. Aureen In a message dated 6/18/01 8:25:50 AM Central Daylight Time, aureen@... writes: << Even when children have " just so " or just right compulsions, there is a strong accompanying obsession---I guess it's not an obsessive THOUGHT about fear of harm or danger, but it's more of an URGE. The urge often makes kids restless and agitated until a compulsion to correct/complete is fulfilled. Therefore, these urges can be just as upsetting as fears of harm or danger. >> Aureen, We are just beginning to look at the OCD tendencies in our 8 year old daughter. This is the kind of symptoms she shows ... things needing to be visually " right " or it " really bugs " her (her words). 3 years ago she was diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder (her primary symptom was/is tactile defensiveness), so I always thought this " visual rightness " was a sensory issue. Then this spring Keri started having trouble with transitioning into school and showing anxiety in that way, plus picking at her finger with a straight pin. At that point, our peditrician strongly suggested further evaluation, which we are currently doing. My question is: is this " rightness " thing totally OCD or can it be sensory based? These things seem to overlap so its hard to know how to treat sometimes... I don't want to medicate if we don't have to, so I address the sensory issue first, but sometimes that doesn't do the trick, especially for the " rightness " thing. Thank you for any insight you can provide! Sincerely, Tina in Houston You may subscribe to the OCD-L by emailing listserv@... . In the body of your message write: subscribe OCD-L your name.
