Does anyone else's cherub have separate diagnoses?

Our seven year old had sensory processing disorder and mild autism, does anyone have spd therapy tips? Also how can I help her make connections with her traits and environments? I know when her mood changes because of sensory overload or her asd but she doesn't make the connection. She also uses a chewy and is using it more each day, is it a sign of something or just out of habit

Thank you in advance xx

  • Hi, thank you for your reply. I think she does use it to help with stressors when she is out and about but we just talked to her about using it at home. We asked is she chewing cause it is there or is she worried. She took it off straight away and is now sat watcheing TV. I am going to keep an eye on her because normally when she is getting over stimulated her fingers start going in her mouth.

    Thanks again Jayne xx
