Neuro/psych assessmt: Have your son evaluated by either a behavioral pediatrician or pediatric psychiatrist/neurologist. Sensory processing problems are common in many disorders including some neurological disorders, the autism spectrum disorders and other conditions. Maybe some parent/child training or therapy may be helpful. Good luck.

SPD is actually: Not a medical diagnosis; it is used by ot's. See aap.Org for the rationale for its not being considered a separate condition. Children manifest different symptoms of diagnosable neurodevelopmental disorders at different stages of development. Sometimes the answer's not clear till they are of school age. I agree, it's time for the recommended evaluations & management of the disruptive behaviors.
