We've been doing joint compression/brushing for around 2 1/2 years now with our DD1. She has sensory issues and its probably the number one thing to do when things go awry. We used to do it 4-6 times daily for almost 12 months, and now maybe two-three times a week? It has changed our lives.

Matilda has sensory processing issues as well as Autism. But her sensory issues are probably more pronounced than her autism. Her sensory issues are full on, and we know when she needs brushing, she flaps and runs into walls etc etc etc.... but she is older and nearly 7, so its easier to pick up signs once they are older....
