DS is like a puppy who has no clue what its body is doing. He runs backwards into open doors. He trips, he runs forwards into walls. He bonks his head. You name it. He just doesnt seem aware of his body in relation to his surroundings. Quite apart from the constant spillages and upset and stress, he is always getting hurt! And to make it even worse, his sensory stuff has come out in full force lately. Especially touch. So the lightest touch or little bump of an elbow turns into a disaster for him. We are feeling so bad for him all the time over it. And also stressed for ourselves as he is often to be found wailing in pain and we are running trying to make sure everything around him is safe. But try as we might we just cant do it, he trips over his own feet.
One aspect of this is this elaborate kissing to make it better ritual we have to go through when he gets hurt. We dont want to give him almost encouragement for hurting himself but my gut tells me he is totally clueless and couldnt stop it if he tried so we go through the ritual. But its all just worrying.
What can I do to help him?
