Having trouble posting this response -- third try -- sorry if it repeats!

Have you considered DSI? Sensory Integration Disorder/Dysfunction? For over a year now, we've been trying to figure out developmental oddities about our son, now 10. It's been going on for years, but was less obvious when he was younger and all his peers were immature and goofy. We found out he's gifted and MAYBE has Asperger's Syndrome or ADHD Primarily Inattentive (though we think this last one is NOT right -- that was just one "expert" opinion that doesn't mesh with anything we've read or KNOW about our son, and our friends and family members disagree, too).

Anyway, going through this -- trying to figure out what's "wrong" with our son, to date, it's nothing that's caused him major problems -- I've read a lot of stuff and a lot of it reminds me of me. Especially the "overexcitabilities" of the gifted (Dabrowski's Theory) and the issues of DSI. In a nutshell, all my life, I've been hypersensitive to a number of sensory inputs. The weirdest one I suppose is that I can't stand anything touching my neck and am generally sensitive about how my clothes feel on me (tags, socks, etc.). I am super-sensitive to sunlight, noise, and crowds. Are my problems psychological or neurological? Hmmm...
