Kathy Foster Great article. Do parents seem to see this teype of behavior escalate in the tween/teen years? Thanks for posting this. Our son "gets it" when he is not upset and after the fact but during a melt down... is just not there, yet. age 12 boy.

Ashley Henderson Gonzales Great article. There is a certain stare and then my son clicks over into his OCD loop or extreme rigid behavior, there is usually not a lot of rationalizing going on at this time. Once he gets in the zone, it is almost as it he needs to come out if it by himself. Something clicks back over and he is out of it.
