I'm very familiar with sensory issues. It's just never been an issue until now. So, this is something new for us. He has had speech and OT. I'm hoping to find something more out over the next few days. I have a meeting with his teacher in the morning to see if she found out anything. I also email the Emory Autism Center tonight, it may be a few days to hear back from them.
Thanks for the info.
