[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 386041, member: 1233"] Totally a sensory thing. thank you is getting better, but I still know when he is stressed because the neckline of his shirt will be soaked. I get his shirts at a thriftstore for fifty cents or so, and replace them every 4-6 weeks because the necklines get holes and don't regain their shape when washed after a while. Now that he is getting better i will start to give him more choices in shirts because they don't get ruined as often. Brushing therapy can help reduce this, but you MUST be taught it by an Occupational Therapist. If it is not done properly big problems can occur. BIG problems. I recommend reading "The Out of Sync Child" and "The Out of Sync Child Has Fun" by kranowitz. The "has fun" version is packed with activities to provide needed kinds of sensory input. ALL my kids like the activities - they are just fun, but can help provide the sensory input with-o shirt chewing and other sensory seeking behaviors. The first book describes Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and goes into great depth on the disorder and how brushing therapy works. It is a good resource, but if I could only purchase one of the books it would be the Has Fun one because it is more day-to-day useful. [/QUOTE]
