Dd is 10 and has HFA (as do I) and we've had a terrible morning over Xmas Jumpers. She has a 'fear' of 2D or fake faces. She has once managed to explain that she feels sorry for them squashed into 2D when they should be 3D if that makes sense.
She has meltdowns when confronted with them (teaching aids, ICT, t shirts etc) and any attempt by school to help has resulted in it getting worse.
Has anyone had any success in dealing with this kind of thing? I have my own set of fears and anxieties which tbh seem untreatable but they're less obstructive to daily life. I am at a loss how to improve this for her.
Any experiences would be very gratefully received.
