help struggling

james seems to be getting worse at the moment, wont let us cuddle him, he just leans in to us so we have to put our arms round him, he wont let us give him a kiss keeps saying kisses tickle, even if you touch his arm says ouch tickles, last few nights he gets distressed in bed because he feet and legs tickle and bed tickles, tickles we think means feels uncomfortable I think, he can only wear certain footwear only light footwear, this morning he stood and lined all his red cars up, its starting to get upsetting that I cant even have a proper cuddle off my son, we not due back to peads june/july this year, but that's gonna be stressful because james has changed soo much since January and not in a good way frown emoticon, been having load of meltdowns lately which haven't been like that in a long time

currently being assessed for autism he is 3 years old

  • My son was very hypersensitive to touch and all stimuli and since he didnt get a diagnosis for 12 years when my concerns were ignored by all Health Professionals and teachers?  He has ASD and his hypersensitivity has improved over the years but still persists, it is very difficult to deal with as a parent with a young child.  Being hypersensitive doesn't not always mean they have ASD.  gOOD lUCK.
