RE: Physical reaction when triggered - HELP
Maybe too if like she needs a physical safe space, you can make one for her that she can go to that will help block everything out? Or even something as simple as putting a sign on her door, saying "I need my me time" or something so that she knows she can get away fully when she needs to, at least at home. With touch would wearing gloves or something help? I know there are girls online who post videos of their retry style, and maybe a barrier like that, while doing a full look would help it blend in better? With my touch sensitivity I put a lot of lotion on and that seems to help my skin feel the air and not freak out. Especially my feet and hands, when they are dry it's like I'm going out of my skin. I once had a freak out because I didn't have any in my purse. (A few years ago and I was an adult back then too. >.< Like you get from the outside how ridiculous you might seem to other people, but in that moment, it's more like a panic attack, and that part of you can't control you anymore. If that makes sense?) I think normal people would see something like that and brush it off, but when need certain things to comfort you, it's important to have them. Maybe see if you can find a thing that's like that for her? (It also helps if you do this, to have sinks that aren't just round nobs, but have some kind of handle or spoke to them, otherwise it's hard sometimes to turn the sink on or off.) Sometimes even round doorknobs are hard for me because my hand just slips around them. lol Also, thanks, I'm not a therapist but I can understand what it feels like because I feel it too. My mom has helped me a lot by not doing things that she knows I am not ok with, like making sure I always had clothes that felt good on my skin. Maybe too like she might respond to sounds? Like find something, music, waves, asmr, or whatever she likes, so that she can use that as a way to help block out other people. Sometimes that helps me relax when I'm stressed. That and at school, maybe she can ask to be excused to go to the nurse when things get bad? That way she can go there and have some space to help her calm back down? Just explain to the school why this is happening and if they try to be thick about it, bring up the ADA (US) or whatever laws in your country that are like that and threaten them to behave properly. Sometimes even with schools that should know better, you have to set people straight, you know? Since SPD isn't really recognized maybe you can have her doctors say she has an anxiety disorder or something? That way they have to be nice to your daughter and give her the tools that she needs.
