Picking up cues:
Logan will withdraw into himself when overwhelmed or over stimulated. If we are at a childs B'day party and he's had enough he will tell me "Mom it's time to go home", or "Mom the noise is hurting my ears". He has gotten very good at expressing his emotions to me and I support him in his feelings.
Soothing calming activites:
WATER; the bathtub is the best thing for Logan.
Quiet time with playdough, computer time alone, MILK is very calming to his body so when he asks for milk I know he needs to calm his body.
