Shower ordeal tonight

[myrose]

Sorry for my multiple posts tonight...internet connection was down for a bit so I am back on full blast tonight!

 

I was giving my daughter a shower tonight and again she said ouch when I held the shower head over her. She keeps saying the water feels like someone is pricking her. Is there a connection with this at all.

These days I just never know....

hi Wendy

 

could be sensory integration dysfunction related. many of our kids have it and I know whenver my son was waxing, his "senses" would become hypersensitive

yes, sensory issues are here too. When my older son was in episode, he wouldn't eat anything crunchy and he really couldn't explain why.

I was wondering this, too. Someone recommended some reading in an introduction thread I started here. My son will whine about pats on the back or knee. If he really does get hurt, you would think he was dying!

 

Here's from the other thread:

 

Welcome harpozo,

 

Your son's hyper-sensitivities sounds like sensory issues. Doris Rapp wrote a couple of terrific books on the subject. It was very enlightening.

I refused to take a shower until I was 12 years old and would only take baths. I was afraid that I would get soap in my eyes, and I didn't like the water spraying on my face. I also agree that your daughter's pain when taking a shower could possibly be sensory issues.
