This is a 12 year old boy who came in because his mom could not figure out why he was so jumpy. She told me he flinches at loud noises in a way that seems extreme for his age, has always hated roller coasters and elevators, and gets motion sick on the shortest car rides. He was also described as a deeply anxious kid who struggles with transitions and melts down over small changes in routine.  When I evaluated him, his Moro reflex was still active. The Moro is a reflex every baby is born with. When a newborn experiences a sudden change in head position or feels like they are falling, their arms fling out and up, fingers splay open, and the whole body extends before pulling back in. It is the body's first stress response and it floods the system with cortisol and adrenaline. It should be fully integrated by 6 months of age. He is 12. To test for a retained Moro, I rock him gently with his eyes closed. Closing the eyes takes away his ability to visually stabilize, and rocking feeds direct input into his vestibular system, the part of the inner ear that tells the brain where the body is in space. With those two things happening at once, the brain has to rely entirely on more primitive systems to stay oriented. If the Moro is still active, the response shows up immediately. His arms flung out and up exactly the way a newborn's would when their head drops back. That is not a startle. A startle pulls the arms in toward the body.  When the Moro stays active, the child lives in a constant state of low grade fight or flight. The nervous system cannot tell the difference between a real threat and a normal sensory experience, so a slammed door, a flickering light, an unexpected touch, or a change in plans all trigger the same internal alarm. It also drives the anxiety, the sensory sensitivity, the difficulty with transitions, and the motion sickness. All of it traces back to the same unintegrated reflex. His parents had been told he was just a sensitive kid and that some children are wired that way. What he actually had was a primitive reflex that should have integrated when he was a baby and never did.  #primitivereflexes #autism #adhd #moro #braindevelopment
