In my previous post, I touched a little on this disorder. Unfortunately because it is not listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, then many children will go undiagnosed. From my understanding, the DSM-IV is under revision and set for publication in 2013 to the DSM-5(fifth edition). Hopefully Sensory Processing Disorder will be included so psychologists and physicians will have another reference point when it comes to diagnosing and treating children and adults.
