"You would have to work with therapists to train her to recognize when she would be in a situation that could cause pain and tell you so you can check her. I obviously want to wait for the blood tests to rule anything out but I feel it is safe to say that Calla has sensory processing disorder. This means that she becomes overstimulated very easily by noises, tastes, the way things feel. She's also understimulated in other ways which is the low reaction to pain. Even the inability to handle change is part of that. There might be some other things going on as well but I'm not comfortable making a diagnosis yet. I'd like to get her into a number of different types of therapies to help her out."

The therapies are designed to give her the tools to succeed in her life. We can give her those tools and in the process make things easier and more comfortable for her."
