[quote=Anonymous]This is 9:36 pp.  In retrospect, I think it might have helped me to view this sort of behavior is a syptom of stress/anxiety/overstimulation rather than a separate condition.  In a way, it's nice to have a very visiable warning signal that DD is over stressed.  Then you work to take the stress and anxiety down a notch.  The classroom setting for my son was also very difficult in Kinderarden (large class and he was clearly a bit overwhelmed) and First Grade (just crazy and not well managed).  A much more orderly third grade year this year in combination with the food changes has really changed things.  I also ratched back the extracurriculers as I learned that he needs more down time than my older child.  There were times when I think my son subconsciously uses an injury as an excuse to fall apart--stress has been building and he's on the edge, then he stubs his toe and BOOM.  It still happens occassionall.

You might also post in the special needs section or search for advice for managing this same issue for kids with sensory disorders.  I think my son would have been diagnosed with on in preschool I had pursued it.  He cowered at loud music classes, avoided overwhelming loud birthday parties lashed out when overstimulated, etc. [/quote]
