they're having the time of their life.
And really, they're not kind of going in or on the surface appearing in that stress state, where you could have other kids that, like you're saying, are on the spectrum, really that higher level of emotionality, where, you know, even getting them in their normal routines can even be that much more challenging.
And it really falls in the lines with, for example, like my son, he's a pretty outgoing kind of kid.
He runs on a cross country team.
But for him, going outside is just not happening.
And, you know, me, I walk every day, but paying attention to basically each of our nervous systems responses.
And I think that's what's really the most important thing.
is that each of us has our own nervous system response to information like this, and we're going to kind of cycle through it.
We know particularly people fall in the categories when they experience stress, going into fight, flight, freeze, and flop.
And all four of those
Actually look very different and manifest very different in the body When you have a fighter and a flighter, those are people who are gonna maybe perhaps even have more Circling ruminating thoughts and we do know for example in higher IQ individuals that they tend to ruminate more often and
And so if you kind of already have that anxiety and overdrive, you can get those repeated thoughts, get a lot of the repeated behaviors where they need to release that storage of energy that they're experiencing.
So exercise is one way to kind of help get that out.
Another thing is when you have your freezers and your floppers, those are going to be people who really are going to
flop over and you know not be capable to do much and their kind of nervous system is inundated and they get this surge of neurochemicals which kind of just exhausts their entire body and so we know that in these different kinds of modes even your kid who may be you know in that sympathetic overdrive seeming very active may all of a sudden flop over and have a tantrum right away
because their system just needs that release of the cry, it needs that release of the tears.
And so the other thing that I really want to point out is when we already are talking about our differently wired kids, we have to remember too, that in general, their nervous systems tend to be primed at a higher setting, you know, where they're
nervous system in general to lights and artificial things tends to, you know, get activated and cause stress.
So even your kid who's at home and maybe they're not in the classroom setting and they're not dealing with fluorescent lights, that even that can be reducing their stress states.
And so there's a lot of different pieces to notice to really understand where the origin is.
