Fought and got my daughter into a fantastic private sn school. She is 10 and has high functioning autism.
They suggested regular (2 hourly from breakfast to tea time) body brushing to help with my dd's anxiety, meltdowns, tactile defensiveness and propreception difficulties.
I am stunned that after nearly 2 weeks the difference it has made.
Not 1 meltdown Really loving and inquisitive. Wants to chat and play board games with me. Got into bed yesterday and we had a 20 minute cuddle (unheard of). I could go on. Just thought I would share this bit of positive therapy we have had.
