[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 81141, member: 3647"] For my daughter, the very worst thing is the sensory overload of having too much commotion going on around her at once. It really is a sensory overload, and a recipe for an instant meltdown. The other big one is brushing her hair. The neighbors think I am torturing her by how she screams. Same goes for cutting her nails. She has the same food texture problems, and for that reason there are only about 10 things on the world that she will eat. Food smells bother her too. If I cook with garlic, she won't come in the house. As far as motion goes, she craves it. She spins till she is almost throw-up-dizzy. She also has been known to bang her head (not real hard, but still) and chew her hair. Sound is a funny one. There are some sounds that I brace myself because I think that she is going to freak, and then she is just fine with them (thunder, fireworks, screaming for 20 minutes straight) but if we go under a viaduct at the same time a train is going overhead, she flips. It is more the timbre of the noise than the volume. Most clothes don't bother her. She HATES elastic in her shirts. Anything around the waist or wrists has to be removed. And socks and shoes...form the time she was able to do it herself, she has taken off her socks. She craves being barefoot. When she walks in the house, the first thing she does is take shoes & socks off. Like SRL mentioned, Tink has some rigid thinking, but for my kid it is not a whole lot. It is more stubborn, "I want it my way" as opposed to thinking that "this is the only way that it will work". She has a little anxiety (again, not a lot) but I agree that it is all intermeshed. I know that after having read the book "The Out of Sync Child" (the author escapes me at the moment), I had a better understanding of the disorder. [/QUOTE]
