[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 486321, member: 1722"] Malika~ My Duckie is one of the higher functioning children on this forum, in fact. she's virtually a easy child most of the time except... when she isn't, lol! She's always been sensory-defensive but we didn't realize how much it truly was affecting her until she had a massive meltdown in school last year. She'd always managed to hold it together in school before this because she's highly motivated to fit in. But it did come out sometimes: she'd lash out verbally at a classmate when overwhelmed or frustrated, she'd pull away from the other children or do some minor calming rituals when school was in session (rolling the hem of her shirt, pinching her erasers, etc). Usually, she'd just explode at home. She isn't sensory-seeking so isn't one of those kids in constant motion. Implementing the Wilbarger Protocol (a brushing and joint compression therapy) has made a world of difference here. Is she a easy child? No... but she's becoming the person I always knew was in there somewhere. :) [/QUOTE]
