[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 81119"] difficult child covers her ears for loud noises and kind of hunches down. It doesn't have to be very loud...opening the garage door, for example. She also can't tune out sounds and will focus on other things, such as kids tapping their pencils in class, to the extent that she can't focus on anything else. I've never been sure if that's sensory related or more of an auditory processing issue. Clothing is another issue. Shopping is a huge deal. We take about 20 things into the dressing room and only end purchasing a couple. Some things she'll wear, but then they feel different after being washed a couple of times and she won't wear them anymore. I've started drying everything on delicate because that tends to have the least effect on the material. I've also attributed it to certain detergent and fabric softener, so I always buy the same kind. Low rise jeans have been horrible because finding anything else is next to impossible and difficult child *hates* the way they feel. Same thing as you with sock seams and shoes. Food texture is another. I actually share that trait with her. There are foods that we won't eat, not because of the flavor, but because of the texture, although those foods are different for each of us. She is also sensitive to smells. Strong smells really bother her and will make her feel ill. Temperature is another thing I've noticed. She has a very small window where she is comfortable...she's either too hot or too cold, but she's usually too hot. Just a few things off the top of my head. [/QUOTE]
