DD has dx of ASD, and the local Paeds will take her on for in depth sensory profiling (has been referred by CAMHS)
She's HF, very impulsive at times and wonder if she might end up with ADHD dx also.
But something that has always puzzled, and really irritated us at times, is she simply MUST be 1st to go up or down stairs or escalators. Even if we're holding her hand she has to stand a few inches in front.
I thought this was the classic 'must be 1st in line' thing, but she actually prefers to be at the back of lines etc so just ignored it to a point.
Over the past few months, I've noticed she has a quite unique way of walking down stairs, she 'feels' the riser with the back of her heel and slides her foot down that way - I watched her purposefully today as we were at the leisure centre, and there was lots of room. She did this movement all the way down, but if someone was coming up past her, she lost her footing and then almost lost her balance!
Her general balance and co-ordination has improved vastly over the past year due to trampoline classes, but stairs are still a problem.
Anyone got any idea?
TIA

Anyone know much about vestibular processing, please?
