Is It Possible?
We started “brushing” Forest on Wednesday for his Tactile Defensiveness, today is Saturday. That’s what, three days? Yesterday I noticed that he didn’t fret about getting into his car seat and we had no trouble when he put on his pjs. Things that normally can leave us both in tears. This morning, he put on a shirt he hasn’t worn in over a month and wore a brand new pair of pants that he’d been refusing for weeks saying that they hurt or tickled. Again, not a single peep about the car seat bothering him or his pjs tonight.
He always had bad days and good days with his tactile defensiveness before but lately it had all been “bad” days. I don’t want to jinx it but it really does seem like the brushing is already making a difference. He hasn’t been this relaxed about his clothing in so long I can’t even remember. I’m amazed, excited and leery of being too excited too soon, all at the same time.
