Going against overwhelming odds has been a theme in many uplifting stories about amazing people with unique needs. Beating these odds and exceeding expectations is a repeating motif, whether it is surviving early childhood, achieving important communication and intellectual milestones, or finishing college. 

This lesson should hold even in the face of obstacles like immunity. 

Many kids with special needs suffer from an immunological deficit. And given the current crisis, that is undoubtedly a terrifying idea. 

On the other hand, the idea of outlasting difficult odds remains the same. Families will have the best odds by gradually boosting their kids' immunity. Although it may not make sense, acting now is preferable to waiting for quick vaccines or miraculous treatments. Even if it seems like a band-aid fix, such things take time, and you can still use more methods to help improve immunity. Everything counts. 

Consider the following instead: 

It is now generally accepted that stress and immunity are related. Additionally, this has provided some insight into the immune deficits of special needs children, given the types of stress reactions they exhibit. 

On the plus side, stress can still be controlled in children who, for example, have autism or ADHD. It all depends on how effectively parents can provide their children with a sense of security and stability while reducing triggers and understanding their fears. 

More investigation into the dynamic interaction between the body and the brain has resulted from research on the effects of stress on immunological dysfunction. They are both continuously collaborating, after all. 

Whatever the brain accomplishes will impact how the body takes care of itself. Because of this, exercising the body and the mind can also be a terrific method to build immunity and even assist a child with special needs to stay in excellent health.
