calming stratagies

danij88
hi i am looking for a little advice. My daughter has recently been diagnoised with aspergers. The main thing i seem to be struggling with at the moment is 'meltdowns' and how to help my daughter unwind and settle. today i took her to the libary and she had a HUGE meltdown out of anger she began to start pushing the foot stools around i noticed this began to calm her after five mins she was ok! so i am starting to think she will benefit from pressure/force?? anyone have ideas how i can implement this in others ways as moveing furniture wont always be practical! lol many thanks danielle

  • Also get a copy of "Thinking in Pictures" by Temple Grandin, her Chapter on "The Squeeze Machine".  People on the spectrum, because of sensitivity, may not get enough hugging - well that's one theory. But there is a considerable literature about the benefits of not only weighted blankets and weighted clothing, but close hugging chairs etc.
