[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 263766, member: 3907"] WSM, I think Shari's advice about helping your difficult child see the benefits of treatment in not ending up like his mom. As for the tight spaces, I would still board up the desk. At his height, and with the very small space, he might get stuck or otherwise hurt himself. If there is another tight space that you can make available to him, where he has just a little bit more wiggle room, then that might work. I too feel a strong need to squeeze myself into tight corners. When I was little, I used to wrap Tensor bandages around my body, under my clothes. In my late teens and early 20s, I would wear tight-laced corsets. Nowadays, I lie very straight along the sofa, right where the sitting cushions meet the back cushions, facing the wall. I then get husband and Little easy child to sit in front of me and lean back hard. It gives me the same "squoze" feeling, without any confinement, and husband and easy child are willing to take lots of direction about how much or how little pressure to exert. Just offering up a few alternatives. There are safe ways to meet this sensory need. Perhaps you, your husband and your difficult child can brainstorm on ways of giving him the same feeling without endangering him. Trinity [/QUOTE]
