[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 372478, member: 7664"] He says they make him sweaty. Well, that's what he said 10 months ago when this began, now I think he just thinks putting on an extra piece of clothing is pointless. He will also take off his socks at any chance. He never had these issues until recently and he is rather hyposensitive, so I'm not quite sure about the sensory aspect. Let's pull in everyone's favorite term(lol) ODD, for instance he will refuse...every day to hang up the towel from his shower. It lies crumpled on his floor...everyday. Everyday, I call him from what he is doing to come hang it up. He tellls me he will leave it on the floor everyday, that he doesn't care, etc. Even though it is more work for him to come back upstairs to hang the darn thing up, unless I am standing right there to remind/tell him to go hang it up, he will leave it. He doesn't care. He doesn't get it. He thinks I'm being unreasonable. He says his room will just get messy again, so why clean it....he is really not reasonable about many things. When I said we have chosen our battles, this has meant slowly giving up expectations that has now added up to him becoming minimally participatory in chores, academics, formally learning new concepts (academic) he no longer ties shoes...he removed and tried to flush the laces, he refuses to wear pants with zippers, the goal at school is to maintain behavior with a slight nod to academics. If something doesn't satisfy an immediate need in him, he is unlikely to do it. [/QUOTE]
