What makes her comfortable are her routines and her strategies tomanage her anxiety, which can get out of control in no time. So it is achallenge to deal with her rambunctious cousins, try on scratchy dresses, andfollow impossible directions about going down aislesslowly-but-not-like-a-sloth and tossing pretend flowers around.
