Connor Biscan rested in his “sensory closet,’’ while his mother, Roberta Biscan let in the dog at their home in Wilmington, MA. Roberta explained that Connor suffers from sensory processing disorder, meaning “he doesn’t know where his body is in space.” The closet under the stairs is fifilled with comforting objects: pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, toys, and balloons. He buries himself among his favorite things. Roberta said their weight signals his nervous system to calm down. “He can stay in there for hours,’’ she said.
