of Francoise Robert (Author), Sonya Cote (Author), & 1 more
Alexis is a smart and playful little boy who, like all children, loves to laugh and have fun. However, in his case, the game and the excitement lead to a great disorganization which he cannot control. It overreacts, turning into a small tornado or having fits. In addition, Alexis sometimes overreacts to certain stimuli -; such as background noise, bright light or uncomfortable clothing -; which, however, have no effect on his friends.
Would Alexis be hyperactive? Not at all ! He is a hypersensitive child, that is to say he perceives certain stimuli much more intensely than the majority of people. Hence the importance of providing him with the tools that will allow him to prevent and manage potentially difficult situations for him.
