Anyone have experience or help with this at all please. It’s become so extreme, she can’t cope with the smell of our house (not smelly to us NTs, just usual everyday smelling house!). Huge meltdowns day and night, has to have air freshener by her side. We have plug ins, essential oils, candles etc to help. It’s so extreme these past few weeks abs ties in with her high anxiety. I don’t know how to help her. She had the worst, aggressive meltdown about it in the middle of the night on Monday, from sleeping to immediately screaming about it and attacking us. She is at the higher end of the autism spectrum with huge sensory issues.
The air fresheners are catching our chests, causing us to cough abs sniffle...this is her worst auditory sensory sensitivity and also triggers huge meltdowns.
We are in the long long process, pursuing medication and in touch with camhs. I just don’t know what to do anymore.
We moved here early this year and she cannot cope with the smell - again nothing unusually smelly about the house.
