[quote=Anonymous]DD (6) is ASD with anxiety and SPD. Getting pants on has been a trigger for a while, in that she would prefer to just be naked or wear shorts. Shoes are also a big struggle. Getting dressed can be a 30 minute affair of screaming and yelling mean things at family members. We believe this is behavioral, not sensory (though sensory is the trigger) because she will have a month of getting dressed without incident and then when her anxiety peaks she starts struggling again. Usually we can move through the outburst phase quickly ( a week or so) but it’s been a month and no signs of stopping. We spend an hour a day getting her dressed. It’s exhausting. Hoping some of you have ideas of things to try. Things we have tried (and can try again): she has to be alone, stickers for getting dressed, prizes for stickers, taking away tablet, etc. she does OT, we treat anxiety, we’ve done parent coaching, and she has done therapy (play and CBT with us).[/quote]
