This was totally DS until 9 mos, but he wouldn't wear long
sleepers at all because he was apparently too hot. Nothing
footed, ever, because his feet are too big (He now wears a
10.5 shoe at 2 3/4 years old).

yeah, that's about what Boo's were at that age. the good news
is his feet haven't grown much in the past year (between 5 &
6)...

How do you determine
"sensory issues"? DS hates seams, tags and anything
binding. He won't wear a coat with a hood because of the
hood's weight. He sometimes seems to like to
self-stimulate by break dancing, bouncing himself off the
floor, couch or bed or "fake" bopping himself on the head.
I sometimes wonder if he has SID to some extent.

sounds possible. in many cases it gets better as the kids
learn better coping mechanisms. how upset do seams & tags make
him? grumpy or total meltdown, day-is-ruined?
if he does a lot of bumping into things & asking to be held
tightly, that's sensory seeking. the tags & seams is sensory
avoiding. and, yes, it's possible to be both.
take a look at The Out-of-Sync Child & see if that fits him
at all. i think most kids, especially toddlers, have *some*
sensoty things going on. i also think most kids outgrow the
"issues" part as they learn ways to deal with the irritants.
