Am starting to wonder if my dd 8yo has sensory processing issues, my reasons for thinking this are;
she will not wear anything other than very comfortable loose fitting clothes
She has extreme reactions to pain and any physical discomfort (heat, cold, hunger) Fairly minor injuries will result in a full blown panic attack.
she struggles with too much going on and gets very tired.
she has a strong reactions to smells (doesn't like certain rooms as they 'smell funny')
She can't bear it if her clothes get wet and if even a small amount of water gets on her clothes she has to remove it straight away.
She was a difficult baby, was easily over stimulated and cried a lot and as a toddler was also extremely sensitive and had daily tantrums.
She is my only and I always thought she was just sensitive and at times just being 'difficult' especially when it comes to clothes.
Anyway does this sound normal or is there some sensory issues here?
