[QUOTE="mymulligan, post: 609750, member: 17061"] By the way I just read this and it hits unbelievably close to home! [COLOR=#333233][FONT=Georgia]Another response to being overwhelmed is to flee. If a child dashes out across the playground or parking lot, oblivious to the danger, Peske says that's a big red flag that he may be heading away from something upsetting, which may not be apparent to the rest of us, or toward an environment or sensation that will calm his system. This "fight-or-flight response is why someone with sensory processing disorder (SPD) will shut down, escape the situation quickly, or become aggressive when in sensory overload," she says. "They're actually having a neurological 'panic' response to everyday sensations the rest of us take for granted." My son has actually fallen asleep at basketball games with bright lights and music and crazy noise [/FONT][/COLOR] [LEFT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Georgia]Along with touch, hearing, taste, smell and sight, Dr. Ayres added the "internal" senses of body awareness (proprioceptive) and movement (vestibular). When the brain can't synthesize all this information coming in simultaneously, "It's like a traffic jam in your head," Peske says, "with conflicting signals quickly coming from all directions, so that you don't know how to make sense of it all." Feels soooo like him. [/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
