You are making my heart ache. Tights under the pants, multiple pairs of socks under the shoes... I'm ready to cry. These are things my daughter has also been doing and I've been telling her "no". I've been looking at this from the totally wrong perspective. Sometimes it seems like she's just trying to find some new way to get my goat, make me spend more money on ruined socks, or whatnot. I have zero knowledge of Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), and I'm going to start learning all I can about it right now. I will get the book all of you mentioned. And I'll get some sort of test lined up to help us get some answers. And until all of that is done: I'm taking her shopping right now for some tights and extra socks. God, I feel terrible. It's so hard to view some of this stuff as "needs"... this is all so foreign and hard to understand. Her rage, her unusual demandings... my boys are nothing like this. But, I'll do anything. Thank you SOOO much for all your insight.
