[quote=Anonymous]My DD has ADHD and associated social/sensory issues. She used to twist her hair to the point I had to spend 30 minutes each morning combing it out and sometimes cutting large chunks of her very long hair. A few weeks ago just before school started the knots got so bad I cut her hair into a long layered style she really likes, and miraculously the twisting has stopped for the most part, but for the occasional. However, now she sucks a piece of her hair. I'm not as concerned about this because it doesn't result in painful to remove knots, but it makes her look a little odd walking around with a piece of hair in her mouth and results in a yucky wet sticky piece all the time. Someone mentioned to me that chewing gum can help kids with ADHD. She has never had gum (she's 6), and I'm sort of proud of that - so not sure I want to introduce it. But, if it might be soothing and help with her sensory issue I'd be willing to try. [/quote]
