Next thing I know, she’s sitting in a chair, Miss Ali is asking me to sign a required form, and my daughter sat still, got her ears pierced, smiled from ear to ear the whole time with NO fears. She LISTENED to the steps Miss Ali told her they do to pierce ears. She even talked to the person behind the counter (Miss Ali) and asked if she could see the machine they used. Well, a few months ago, we went to the mall and there she was, looking at earrings again. I felt so bad because she so wanted them pierced, but, her fears got the better of her. But, as soon as she would hear a “click” sound, she’d be off the chair before her ears were pierced and cry out of fear and frustration. For example, she has wanted her ears pierced for years! She would go and look at earrings, and sometimes even sit in the chair as if to get them pierced. The noise and the pain would soon go away, etc. Previously, my daughter was so fearful of noise, of the perception of pain…she couldn’t sequence through that if she heard a loud sound or if she got hurt. We’ve had many “special achievement moments” since my daughter has been in Dr. Chris and Jim had competed and won many major sailing events in Florida as well as throughout the South. The boat belongs to Chris Runge who is a sailing friend of Jim’s. ![]() Photo is of Wyatt sailing with his dad/my husband Jim at Sebastian Inlet State Park. ![]() Wyatt is working to overcome autism, apraxia and a limb difference.
