Does anyone else's child struggle with socks because of sensitivity?

[Saqra]

Socks can take an hour on a bad day.
They touch the toes the wrong way !
They are too thick for shoes!
There can be lots of reasons but basically its a very sensitive issue which means most socks are rejected and if you lose patience a tantrum can trigger.
We have tried different brand but nothing definitely works.

Apart from socks there are no other unusual triggers.

Does anyone else have this ? Have you any suggestions ?

Sock shop bamboo seamless for my asd lad ( he also wears afos so knee length for him.

Oh I’d forgotten this as well!! For ours, the sock problems are often triggered by transitions & pressure around that, so miles worse if we’re eg having to rush to school rather than leaving calmly.

I can sympathise. I can't get comfortable with socks. Fortunately as an adult people don't mind that I don't wear any. I'm perfectly happy with leggings, and enjoy wearing them, even ones with stirrups, but I don't like wrapping my feet up in wool or nylon.

There's lots of useful advice upthread which I can't really add to. I think the main thing is to accept that we're all a bit different and try and minimise conflict, both within the family and between the child and schools which attempt to enforce a particular uniform policy. Sooner or later, the child will become a young adult and will, I hope, be able to sort themselves out according to their preferences. One child I knew - the son of a friend - decided at around the age of five he wasn't going to wear socks any longer. Fortunately she was fairly relaxed about it. He was very good with school work and was eventually accepted at Manchester University to study medicine. I've rather lost touch with them now, so I haven't been able to check in and see whether he's become a sockless doctor. But there's a few of us about!
