My 6yr old son seems to need to roll on an exercise ball or swing in the special needs swing at the park or stand on his head multiple times a day. When stressed, the drive for these activities becomes stronger. The threat of not being able to do one of these activities sends him into panic mode with intense crying and begging proclaiming he "HAS TOO" do that activity. That he really needs it.
My kid usually is right when he tells me something like that. He says it feels really good and just "helps" him but I can't get more than that from him. Does anyone else have that type of behavior? What is it connected to? Could this be related to the vision issues we are in the process of diagnosing or maybe something else?
The need to do these things seems SO intense for him. I really want to understand.
