[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed that it sounds like sensory seeking. My son is like this (difference is I am constantly intervening, he’s getting therapy to address, etc). It manifests as a sort of cluelessness about how their physicality is affecting others, not like they are actually trying to hurt anyone. When my kid is around his friend who is the same way they just sort of shove each other and laugh hysterically but most kids don’t want to be in a 24/7 mosh pit. Surprised the dad is a teacher and this clueless. [/quote] I’m the sensory poster above and this is a great description of the sensory seeking behavior and why it jumped out at me. it doesn’t sound like she’s aggressive necessarily, just like you said a little clueless about how to manage her body and unaware that others don’t want that physical touch all the time. Totally bizarre that Dad would be oblivious but sometimes it’s harder to see things in your own kid I guess. [/quote]
