[quote=Anonymous]OP, I recommend you ask this question in the Special Needs Kids forum 
(Jeff might have just changed the name of that forum recently, but it's something like that)

This is a VERY common thing on the special needs forum, and parents on that forum know what to do about it.  This sort of thing isn't just "one of those things" that normal kids have going on, and therefore, the usual parenting methods of trying to change your kid's behavior don't really work well.

I have a friend with a (now adult) daughter with this issue.  The daughter is on the spectrum (what's formerly called Asperger's, now called ASD) and she's got OCD.  Brilliant kid but had that quirk.  Her hair was often greasy.  My friend was always on her to shower or bathe.  I do recall the girl didn't like the feel of water on her skin, and that was part of it.

Last spring when her daughter was a HS senior, my friend was freaking out that the daughter would not make friends in college due to this issue.

OP, I strongly suggest you go to the special needs forum, and also, ask your kid's former pediatrician, or your own doctor about this, just to get some direction.[/quote]
