[QUOTE="Sharon1974, post: 10840, member: 2976"] I can't buy JK any clothes without taking him to the store with me. First he has to touch the clothes with his fingers. If they don't feel "cozy" he won't even try them on. If the seam in a pair of jeans does not sit right he gets an upset stomach. He likes fleece type clothes the best and turtlenecks because he likes the feel of them around his neck. Shopping for clothes can be a whole day event with trips to several different stores until we find ones that "feel" right. Shoe shopping is also quite the experience. Sometimes he can try on 3 pairs of the SAME EXACT shoe and one will pass. If anything is off in the manufacturing he can feel it. He will not toleralte a problem with shoes or socks. (We can only buy one brand of socks, hope they never stop making them.) A problem with socks or shoes can send him into a tantrum. Oral sensory problems are a BIG problem with JK. I think this has something to do with why he is over 10 pounds underweight. It is really a texture/smell issue more than anything. He has a limited diet that I am always trying to expand. Since we have moved he is eating better and has gained 3 pounds in 2 1/2 months. He can smell things that I can not. He has vomited over a smell that I have hardly noticed. JK is very sensitive and his Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) symptoms are noticeable, but he has been coping much better lately. When he started his new school I had to stop the teacher from putting her hand on his shoulder as I was leaving. I know she was trying to help him feel more secure, but this would have ruined the rest of his day (although she reports that she is able to touch him now but she has to be careful about judging when he will tolerate it.) I spend my days figuring out ways to accomodate or help JK cope with his Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) issues. Sometimes it is draining. [/QUOTE]
