Behaviour Question...Sensory problems?

My 22 months old dd has dev delayed of about 25% due to brain trauma. The reason of this post is because some of her behaviour puzzles me and I was wondering if your dc might behave the same way sometimes;

She always throws her stuffed animals out of her crib, and has never held one for comfort.
She always removes her socks
If I put her hair in pigtails she will play with them all the time.
If I am trying to have a one on one with her, let?s say on the couch, I have to remove all of the remotes or object close because she will have to grab them.
She will always remove her hat, so she has to wear some with some sort of straps.
She always remove her sheets at night, I have never been able to tuck her in.
She is still at the putting things in mouth stage?

So, anyone thinks it could be a sensory thing? Or could it all be "normal" behaviour? Thanks for your input

Hello StillUnderThirty (great name, by the way - and that some mums are so young!).
In my limited experience, it sounds as if it could be either way; it's interesting that they all seem to be touch/feel things. My DS (3) does several of the same things too (except the pigtails ), plus sleeve-chewing, and, despite a dx of ASD, he was deemed not to have enough sensory issues to warrant a referral to an occupational therapist.

Interesting, because you see my dd sees an OT, so I'll bring it up at next appt.

BTW, will have to change my username in 2 months , maybe will go with UnderThirthyOne...

As Cindy Lauper almost famously sang: She bumps, we bump and they bump.

(sorry to much cafeine)

Any other input?
