Hello,
This is my first post as my daughter aged 17 is at the beginning of her journey for official diagnosis for what I've suspected for some time for asd/ Aspergers.
My question though, is if anyone has heard of sensory problems regarding socks and gloves rubbing together? She can normally wear socks but only while they serve the purpose of feet being in shoes. As soon as the shoes are off, so are the socks. However if another person rubs their feet or gloved hands together it will set my daughter off into an hysterical meltdown. It doesn't happen with jumpers or any other clothing. Just socks and gloves. She's getting worse and now avoiding wearing socks herself.
Many thanks.
My daughter has a similar problem, though I can't figure out exactly what she doesn't like. She refuses to wear socks, and can't explain what she doesn't like about socks. When I try to put socks on her, she just screams. How did you solve your problem?
Hi whiteoty, you may find it useful to have a look at our sensory differences guide: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/sensory-differences/sensory-differences. I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
