Unresponsiveness: the child may not respond when others try to communicate with him/her. He/she may look like he/she is “zoning out” Inability to move: alternatively, his/her body could go completely still. Retreating somewhere else: he/she may try to leave the area to go somewhere quieter, darker, less crowded, etc. Extreme exhaustion: the child may be very lethargic, try to lie down, or even fall asleep right where he/she is. When your child has a shutdown, he/she isn’t ignoring you or misbehaving-his/her system is entering survival mode because of overwhelming stress.
