Every day is a struggle and I have to believe that one day it will all be worth it. I know that your child and my child are not the same, but it does give me hope each time that I hear a success story of one more child with ASD.Amy@TheCircusMcGurkus.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990078765385100510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137584603391887934.post-56748270614465893332010-12-19T20:03:58.234-08:002010-12-19T20:03:58.234-08:00Thank you so much, Lynn, for sharing your story. ...Thank you so much, Lynn, for sharing your story.

Talk about missing puzzle pieces! My daughter is almost 10. She was dx'd with bipolar, adhd, and odd when she was almost 5. She is also treated for SPD. I have only had glimses of her "stable" and we can never seem to get it just right! We see a new pdoc on the 7th of next month and I will be prepared!

You "scrub" the child, but the brush is incredibly soft. It doesn't hurt at all unless you hold the brush at the wrong angle (vertically instead of horizontally), so... don't do that. My kids actually used to bring the brush to me when they needed it, if that tells you anything.<br /><br />Anyway, I loved reading your piece, Lynn. Thanks for the inspirational story.laughing through tearshttp://www.laughingthroughtears.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137584603391887934.post-1370548754374309932010-12-18T17:16:29.994-08:002010-12-18T17:16:29.994-08:00We do the brushing as well, though not the full sc...We do the brushing as well, though not the full schedule.

I have worked with autistic children for 9 years doing ABA, tutoring, sensory integration etc. After having my own children now I started working privately for a family. To be honest, I sometimes doubt the work I do. I often wonder if I make a difference in these children/families lives. Your story reminded me of why I do what I do and the passion I have for these families to help make a difference. Thank you SO much for sharing. You sound like a courageous woman and your son sounds like a fighter. thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137584603391887934.post-38232067831191454332010-12-18T14:26:31.957-08:002010-12-18T14:26:31.957-08:00We did the skin brushing and joint compression for...We did the skin brushing and joint compression for a long time too. My daughter doesn't have the same intense sensory issues though. Although we did the brushing when she was very young, so maybe she doesn't have as many sensory issues because of it.

Like anything else, your body can adjust to things. If there was ONE single thing that made a difference, scrubbing was it. It was HELL, but absolutely worth it!Lynn MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680909356053872951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137584603391887934.post-40097896544816718262010-12-18T12:50:20.407-08:002010-12-18T12:50:20.407-08:00My son's teacher recently suggested scrubbing ...My son's teacher recently suggested scrubbing for him.
