[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were also at a museum. We’d seen a special exhibit and we’re going to see the movie. He’d done so well all morning. [/quote] ugh that should have worked out since the movie is more decompression time. Maybe the museum and chatter wore him out and then the popcorn bag issue was the pop of his anxiety and fatigue. we had to deal with a teen like this and trying to get them to regulate their emotions IN THE MOMENT is tough. we taped them and showed it to them later - they often don't believe they said what they said nor did what they did. we went over stimming and deep breaths, counting to 10, immediately. We now have a word when we sense the stimming, which we say. We ask how our pet dog is doing. we always go over No hitting and No Yelling. that's for emergencies. same HFA / Aspergers / ASD I. during stressful periods the time between explosions gets shorter and shorter. kid is also on Lexapro for anxiety / anti anger.
