[QUOTE="SRL, post: 106263, member: 701"] Wynertersgrace, during the period when my difficult child was highly anxious, all of his other issues were exacerbated and I've seen that (or some variation) through the years. High sensory produces high anxiety. High anxiety produces high rigid thinking. Extremely rigid thinking produces high ODD. And so and so on. There were only two times I saw what if someone was taking a snapshot looked like ADHD. The first was when he was on Celexa. The second was when the anxiety flared up. At that time he did a short trial of medications which I'm sure didn't help but the elevated activity level lasted for months after the medications were discontinued. It was almost manic gotta keep moving looking. Actually when he occasionally has a rage mode we see a little too but that's understandable. [img]:rolleyes:[/img] I used the sorts of things Linda mentioned as well as weighted blanket, heating pad, etc during difficult child's flareups. But difficult child's best regular sensory regulation is through giving him the right kind of stimuli. Swinging/spinning motion is very helpful to him. That reminds me--time to put the basement swing back up to help through the holidays. [/QUOTE]
