Hi Happykat,
Forgot to answer your question. I have been like this all my life. As a little girl I couldn't wear turtleneck sweaters because they scratched my neck (glad I outgrew that as it's 13 degrees outside right now.) Though some turtlenecks still scratch, but I know to feel the neck and look for seams before I buy it.
T thinks that my social anxiety is because of sensory issues. That does make sense, if sounds and crowds bother me, I would be afraid of those situations.
Anyway, I have been like this my whole life. The book I read said head injuries may cause it and I had a head injury when I was five years old. I will talk to Dr. Clueless about that theory. She did ask me during my eval about head injuries, but sometimes I wonder what it is she writes down. Don't you wish you could read their notes?
