[QUOTE="SRL, post: 429042, member: 701"] I think it takes so much more for these kids "just to maintain" in everyday situations but frankly it's a compensational skill and not one I'd put on my wish list (if I could have put in my order ;-)). That extra outpouring it takes always seems to come at a cost--challenging behavior, angst, tantrums, anxiety, etc. I came to think of it as the child having only so many Functioning Units per day, and when they're gone, they're gone. I found it really helpful when we had out of the ordinary events such as this to plan for down time both before and after to keep the demands low. [/QUOTE]
