[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 715141, member: 1233"] part of what she needs is occupational therapy for sensory issues also called sensory integration disorder. It is part of autism, a big part, and learning about it will help you all. Part of treating sensory issues is providing a sensory diet for her. A sensory diet is just varied sensory activities that have the sensory input that her brain needs. Some people don't process input from their senses the way regular people do. I belong in that group. Lots of sensory input drives me crazy. I cannot eat if someone at the table is chewing with their mouth open. I will barf. Every time. It is the sound of them chewing and the sight of the food. I can't wear or even touch many fabrics. They itch and bother me. Greatly. As in they send shudders through my whole body. If a shirt or dress itches you, you can wear it and ignore the itch. If it itches me, I can't thin\k or concentrate on anything else until that shirt or dress is off of me. [/QUOTE]
