When I got to Brendan's house he was in bed and wide awake. He immediately let me put my hand under his sacrum and work his pelvis and legs. When I got to his left foot he pulled it away. I had to keep going back to his left ankle and foot. When I did his right foot - he had no problems - let me do it. This was interesting as we had put the NFB on his left middle toe (which had made him laugh) and would not let it on his right. There was a better connection on the left; yet the left was more sensitive than the right.
He got up once, went to the bathroom, swung a few times and dived back into bed. At this point I had one hand behind his head covering primarily the occipital bone and the neck. My other hand was across his neck for a while. His mom had her hand on his left frontal. We worked these areas for a bit; then I started to do his left arm; inclusive of the cervical spine, brachial plexus, shoulder and underarm. Very, very sensitive and lots of heat.
Brendan let me teach his mother how to do his right arm. His mom primarily did the brachial plexus, top of shoulder and part of the underarm. She was surprised at how much heat was generated from his right side.
The limbs (legs and arms) for autistic children tend to have sensitivities and a dulling effect. It is as if children know their arms and/or legs are there but do not feel the connection. The reconnection and/or illumination of this line must be established. The stronger the connection the less issue one tends to have. To complete this one must pass through the elbow, wrist, palm and fingers - sometimes knuckle by knuckle.
We finalized the session with his mother on the right arm and myself on the parietal bones and occipital bone. Much heat - like he had been swimming - once again came out. He was sound asleep when the session was over. We look forward to see how he is tomorrow.
