Hi Mary,

We have only been doing effexor for four months. Have seen good results. Not completely gone but she says the world doesn't seem to be coming so fast at her. We never had the learning problems other than high distraction and the classroom sounded like a loud echoing place always for her. She would come home from school and cry for 1-2 hours just screaming and biting and hitting.I was always told I was to soft and needed to be firmer etc...

I have never heard of sensory integration. I can't believe the differences in Canadian(northern) health care and US health care. I will be looking for info on this now for sure.
One thing about this personality was it sure made me explore parenting,my own issues, marriage and listening to each individual.

People have all sorts of advice, don't they. :-P~~~~~ Conor once told
me that the classroom felt like a war going on, only no one would
come help him. <ouch> Glad I rescued him when I did even though I
wish he had never gone at all. How long was your daughter in school?
How long has she been out?

Look for the book The Out of Sync Child by Carol Kranowitz. It gives
a great explanation and overview of the whole topic.

I definitely feel blessed by each my kid's "quirks." They have
brought me to a place I may never have found otherwise.

Life is good.

She was in kindergarten,then I curriculum homeschooled her for grade 1. Lots of damage done there for her and I.Then in grade 2-41/2 in montessori. She has been out for 5 years.

Thanks, I will.

Isn't that the truth. Can't imagine life without this journey. I was very compliant and mainstream until I had kids.
I actually consider myself lucky that they found me to guide me in my journey or maybe we found each other.
