Guest guest Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 It can be difficult and frustrating sometimes to figure out the right questions to ask, that's for sure. It's a process, sometimes very long, and often in inconvenient places, or at inconvenient times, but the possible reward of " no more tantrums " is so worth the effort for me. I feel very fortunate that I found a system that works for us (most of the time). I had many failures, and heartbreaks before I hit on the right methods for my daughter. There is no " magic formula " that works for everyone. Although our children have the same diagnosis, they are all so different and unique. > ** > > > << She shuts down, almost completely when she is in such severe pain>> > > Hi Everyone....Areilla....Gareth is the same way.
