Hello! My 14yr old daughter has recently been diagnosed as autistic (in 'old language' she would probably have been given the Asbergers tag). She occasionally has challenges which I think are sensory but I've not managed to find anyone else who has experienced the same, or found a way to help make these easier for her.
It's a whole-body thing where everything she touches (including the floor she is standing on) 'feels wrong' in an upsetting way. If she is lying in her bed, the bed 'feels wrong'. If she touches anything else, that will 'feel wrong' too. It doesn't happen often but it causes her real distress when it does.
I have suggested her weighted shoulder wrap or even putting trainers on and going a run but she's said no to both of these. I'm thinking it could be a deep pressure nervous system imbalance thing.
I would love to be able to help her overcome the horrible feeling she gets when it's happening but I'm at a loss of what to do/try. Any suggestions are welcome!
