I have a seven year old non-verbal autistic blind kiddo (former 23-weeker) and we have been struggling with this for years. We worked for quite some time with OT/sensory integration stuff (the whole brushing protocol, therapeutic listening, etc) but then I agreed to try a little medical help too... My little dude has been on Neurontin and doing better, although we're not quite "there" yet. I'm so interested in this discussion, though, because it worries me so much as he gets older/bigger/stronger and I worry about managing him...
