Blue has started a new thing of just jumping in place - ALL the time. Even though he is not technically on the Spectrum - it reminds me of one of Indigo's stimming behaviors.
Anyway - he is really pushing her with all that motion and noise is causing her to yell at him and get overwhelmed/meltdown.
I had an idea of getting a little mini trampoline to put in his room, but husband thinks that doing that would only "encourage" the jumping behavior. My gut tells me that he needs the stimulation and maybe if I could give the activity some boundries ie: jump in your room...I could lessen Indigo's sensitivity.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? This new "stimming" type behavior started a couple weeks ago when his aggression increased?? I have no idea why - except that this all coincided with school getting out for the summer.
Anyway - thanks for reading and any insight.
