Monnie, i really think you may be onto something there. Shannon suggested in another thread that i take Ashlea to a GP to get a referal to a pead. to see what they say.
Like i've said, yes Ashlea is stubborn and pigheaded, and a typical 5 year old girl, but the clothes issue has always seemed to be more than just putting up a fight over what to wear or who picks the clothes. Its that even the clothes she loves and does choose to put on, when it comes time to put them of she 'hates the feeling' etc. One skirt had a seam across the front and she hated the way it felt across her legs when she walked in it.
I'll definatley look into the sensory proccessing thing some more, I had a look at some stuff today and although most of it doesn't seem like her, the reacting to loud noises and the not wanting affection, other parts of it describe her exactly. They also talked about foods and eating habbits that were similar to her aswell. Thanks for the suggestion
Annie, if I took Ashlea to kinder in her Pajama's she wouldnt settle and get dressed quickly in the car, it would distress her more than anything
The thought of her being a teenager scared the hell out of me!!
