My son is introverted but he has very strong OEs, too. His neuropsychologist says his body is "young". We use OT techniques to help with the sensory integration. We brush with a surgeon's brush on his arms and front of his legs and back. We roll him tight in a blanket and roll him around. We "sandwich" him in bear hugs to provide total body stimulation. We do the "infinity walk". We swing and spend 30 minutes 3 times a week running up and down the play area of the local park.

He has inattentive type ADHD and these things do seem to be helping.

We also give him Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, play "sensory" cds at bedtime...etc.

We are in a "wait and see" period, but the initial results are positive.
