[QUOTE="Stella, post: 258996, member: 6837"] Hi again Cupcake. Reading the above, I am amazed and saddened that you have never heard of sensory integration issues. I was in the same boat until recently. Your daughter has obviously had these sensory problems all her life. I only learned about sensory problems myself within the last couple of years myself and my own daughter is now almost 11. Like your daughter, her problems have become progressively worse as she has got older as she hasn't had the correct intervention or treatment. When my daughter aged 3 would refuse to wear certain clothes and would gag when eating certain foods or when subjected to very strong smells, I just thought she was being defiant and difficult. Years of mistaking her sensory problems for defiance has surely only served to damage our relationship. She was misunderstood. I am certain that when you start reading up about sensory issues you will be amazed as to how your daughter fits in to all of this. I have to agree that she sounds like she may have Aspergers Syndrome but I am by no means an expert in any of this. From reading the above post it sounds to me like your daughter definitely has auditory sensory problems (hypersenstive to loud noises), taste issues (hence the fussiness with food) and tactile defensiveness (aversion to labels and seams etc) Here is a link that you might find out more from; [URL]http://www.sensoryintegration.org.uk/[/URL] An Occupational Therapist can help greatly with sensory problems Also, sensory problems are often a symptom of something bigger like Aspergers or Autistic Specrum Disorder so research that too. I have been very disheartened by the professionals I've liaised with regarding my own daughter and am still searching from a proper diagnosis. I mean the least they can do is read the file! On the advice of many members on this board of have began searching for a Neuro-psychologist as apparently they are meant to be the best for pinpointing a correct diagnosis.
