Minimal Behavioral Dysregulation

Moderate Behavioral Dysregulation
Expressions activating this band describe noticeable self-regulation difficulties such as frequent fidgeting, squirming, nervous clinginess, irritability, hostility, or social withdrawal.

High Behavioral Dysregulation
Expressions activating this band describe pronounced disturbance in behavioral control, especially restless overactivity, inability to stay still, and difficulty being calm, obedient, or easy to manage. The expression may also include associated disturbance such as low energy or troubled sleep when these appear as part of a broader pattern of dysregulated behavior.
