[QUOTE="Shari, post: 384302, member: 1848"] difficult child 1 had mild sensory issues, looking back. I had major ones as a child. In some ways, still do. Particularly clothing. I wore shorts in the summer. Period. There was no switching back and forth, and remember the battles I put up when it was time to change to pants. ugh. Socks....dont even go there. And fabrics... argh. I make myself frustrated, just thinking about it. Wee has Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), also. He needs a lot of heavy input. He saw an Occupational Therapist (OT) for 4 years, until they moved on, and it helped. Since then, we've kept in contact with the Occupational Therapist (OT) and she gives us direction to work with him at home, since ots are hard to come by here. Clothes? When we find something he'll wear, we buy 10 of them. He can't stand stiff fabric, and can't work buttons, so its pull on pants, usually in the shiney athletic material. He wears one brand of socks. And shoes? OMG. He wouldn't wear socks or shoes for years (absolutely would not put them on or leave them one). Now, he will, but he wears one pair of shoes, and only one pair of shoes, until the things are literally falling apart. Then finding the next pair is a massive search that results in us buying 2 or 3 pair before finding a pair that can stand the test of time and he can tolerate to wear for the duration of school. We give away a lot of very nice shoes, worn 3 times... But he will literally wear them until his feet poke thru the bottoms of them...slightly resistant to change. :-) [/QUOTE]
