LOL Maddie only likes closeness when SHE initiates it. I think you have to pay attention to WHEN your son growls. If it is when people are too close to him, ask them to step back. We were told to alleviate some of the problems Maddie has at parties or group gatherings is to get there first...let her find her safe space. I was told it's a proprioceptive issue....Maddie needs to see and feel where she is, especially in stressful situations (she still sits in corners at home, or up on top of the window sill where she really has a bird's eye view) She still hates parties, but is WAY WAY better than she used to be.
