Oh my...

Does that thing cover their head too? I would be terrified if someone put me in that thing, since I have a tendency to be claustrophobic. Yes, I would consider that abuse to put a child in those, *especially* it it covers the head. Yuck.

oh...I'm just sick. Okay, to be fair, I can see where this might,

with the right child in the right setting (where they aren't forced to

use it!!) be a fun tool...if they can breathe AND get out as soon as

they want to...if they want to be in it in the first place.

My ds would be terrified.

I would NEVER consider such a thing to calm a child.

Why don't they just lock them in dark closets? I think it would have

a similar effect and "success" with forcing children into submission.



Brother. IMHO this sounds like abuse to me.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's outraged by the thought of such a

thing...

We have never used one of these, but my daughter has Dysgraphia and Sensory Processing Disorder......along with other diagnoses too. My daughter has so many sensory issues that I could never list them all here. One issue we have because of the sensory issues and Asperger's Syndrome is that she flies into horrible rages.....I'm not talking temper tantrums. I'm talking about throwing oneself again furniture and banging her head repeatedly against the wall. The only way to calm her down and keep her safe from hurting herself is to put her in a theraputic hug. And because she is a sensory seeker she loves being squeezed real tight. It's very calming for her. I have seen the body socks on many sites that sell products for children with Sensory Processing Disorder. I bet my daughter would love it.

For some reason my computer would not link to the article. I know it sounds disturbing, but really some of these unusual sounding therapies are a God Send for those of us who have children on the Autism Spectrum and Sensory Processing Disorder. And no I would never let someone put it over my daughters head......up to the neck only.

> I have a couple of suggestions for your DD. First,,have you tried
looking into the dietary issues that are known to cause autism in
children..like the wheat and milk products. I have read articles
that for children with Autism..they have even CURED It by removing
them. I know this is not the same disorder..but you could look up
autism on the curezone.com website. There is an excellent article
about a boy's parents who would not give up and cured their son
eventually. The mom also published a book. It seems in these
children the milk and wheat actually pass through the blood-brain
barrier and act like a hallucenagenic drug not much different than
LSD!!! In fact when some European DRs studied brains of these
children..they actually found LSD compounds..knowing that the parent
were not giving the kids LSD ..they researched futher and found a
digestive disorder in the intestines..that allows for this....VERY
INTERESTING STUFF!!!

My second suggestion is to look into EFT (emotional freedom
technique) I am currently studying it and it is AMAZING. It can do
so much , so quick, and for sooo many different things...I can not
even attempt to explain here. I will only say I was intrigued
because I found Gary Craig's website where you can download the 82
page handbook on how to do it...completely FREE!!! WWW.emofree.com

You can also contact an eft specialist and do it over the phone..but
I would recommend finding someone in you local area and meet with
them at first. It is similiar to emotional acupuncture..but you tap
on meridians on your body while you verbalize...and that is it. I
have read about severely handicaped children with terrible
behavorial disorders..really improve with this! JUST A THOUGHT!!
