[QUOTE="Star*, post: 263056, member: 4964"] OMG Feeling GOOD was worth 3x what I paid for it for personal PTSD. It will help you - it's WAY over the top for a kid. I'm sure you have but could I ask - have you taken him to an internist and had his tummy to bottom checked with an endoscope? Sounds maybe like there is something misdiagnosed in his GI track. ???? Just asking - maybe he could benefit from taking a Prilosec daily for upset stomach? But my thought was if it's ulcers? You may not know until he's bleeding unless you get someone to check him out with an endoscope (Yeah I know - I've had ulcers) and it makes you miserable. As far as lights and sounds - why not allow him to wear - ear plugs - I buy the foam ones by the handfull and use them ALL THE TIME - I can now just about "shop" in Walmart because of them - and for his light sensitivity - how bout some sunglasses that he can wear indoors? The ear plugs have been a life saver for me. I watched that movie WOLF this weekend and thought -OMG I'm not that bad, but nearly and feel like I can hear 100 things but concentrate on nothing most days. With earplugs? Life is on track and silence is golden. Gotta tell ya - I'm with your little man on the public restroom thing -BLECH...I have so many 'No no's" about roadside potty breaks - but have a few tricks I'd share if he gets over the idea. One of them being a kleenex in my hand BEFORE I touch a door handle -a nd was surprised to see other women recently keep their towel to open the door and toss it back to the bin - thought - huh I'm not the only "issue" person. But my family deals and says "Oh look CLEAN RESTROOMS" -we'll never get to where we're going if we keep stopping to let you clean." and whenever CCR plays on the radio - THere's a bathroom on the right" I get ribbed again. YOu can get - portable lysol, learn how to hold a kleenex in your hand to open stalls and doors, portable toilet sheets....take your own tp - because you don't know WHO touched that roll with WHAT hand - ugh....yeah - there's a lot of things...nice to have a kindred bathroom spirit. As far as church and school - DUde had MAJOR anxiety issues for a long time but denied them. We worked with his therapist and finally found out he felt stupid for being in Self contained - and was getting teased for riding the short bus.....junk like that which can be remedied. How about - a spirit dog? Dude would never sleep better than when he slept with our big dog. And I painted a spirit dog on the door way into his room - to guard him.
