Very important for parents to be sensitive to their kid's sensory issues. Many "melt-downs" can be as a result of sensory issues- fourescent lighting, a busy store, food sensitivities, etc.
In regards to hidden medical problems, you need to rule out the following:
-Acid Reflux - this is very common, and not obvious
-Constipation
-Urinary Tract Infecions
-Yeast Infection (overgrowth in gut, not so obvious)
-Ear Infections
-Bad Tooth
-H Pilori virus (makes stomach problems/ulcers)
Keep in mind that in non-verbal kids, these problems can all look like behavior problems, but can be a direct result of pain and discomfort.
