[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 40785, member: 3527"] Yes, old navy's cotton shirt material seems to be a very good one for us as well. We have had so many problems lately with our difficult child's sensory issues, and at first we didn't know what it was or what was causing it, we just knew she was SOOO picky about her clothes. My husband told me too, that even when she was 2, she was picky about her clothes, and if she was not comfortable in what she was wearing, she would simply take it off and refuse to put it back on. Once we finally happened to stumble upon the topic of conversation at a psychiatrist appointment, she then enlightened us on the sensory issues that some of our difficult child's face and that she didn't avoid certain outfits because she didn't like them, it was because she is extra-sensitive and if she puts on something uncomfortable, her body is SCREAMING inside and she can't stand it. Her moving in with us when she did was a long time coming, so it was expected AND well prepared for, and even though we had everything we needed, everyone insisted on getting us things for her, just like they do when parents have a new baby...they want to buy them a cute outfit, or they just came across a pair of jeans that she would think are "absolutely adorable" and couldn't resist. We try, in the nicest ways possible, to discourage people from spending money on clothes for her unless she is there to try them on and make sure she will be comfortable wearing them, otherwise, it is mostly a waste of their money, and we see difficult child get upset quite often because she will receive this article of clothing, get so excited because she DOES think it is cute and WANTS to wear it, and then puts it on and simply cannot stand to wear it.... Same goes for our younger children, both of whom are extra sensitive in this area. I am not sure if anyone has heard of this before, but my 5 yo daughter has some serious body temperature control issues. There are normal days when she feels appropriately hot and cold, but there are other days, it could be the dead middle of winter and she is burning up hot and days in the middle of summer when she wants to go play outside and will come in and put her coat on because she is "freezing cold". She was born with a dangerously high fever and her pediatrician told me that these temp control issues were formed because of that and that it would gradually get better and that her body would level itself out around age 6...which she is fastly approaching now, and I have seen NO improvement whatsoever.
