My 2E children were more likely to experience physical distress when they came up against the intersection of their Es.
The verbal but extremely dyslexic child learning to read: The physical squirming and distress, squirming backwards away from books and parent across the couch (or up and over and falling off the back), usually unconsciously while still looking and visibly trying. It was like watching someone try to hold their hand in the fire while unconsciously trying to get the rest of themselves as far away as possible. It was actually quite awful. But more observed by us than verbalized by them.
We've had typical headaches and stomach aches when kids didn't want to go to school, for various reasons, but this was something different.
