@anon – Thank you for your response!
We’re meeting with our Rabbi next week (new to the area of Richmond, VA) he’s been great through email and no doubt will be very nice in person too, it often takes someone with special needs experience to really understand that it’s not just the child being stubborn, when my daughter’s socks “hurt” they really do hurt as I’m sure you can sympathize with. My wife had the same sensory issues and can remember her clothing feeling like nails or fire. I would LOVE to find a Rabbi to talk to that has experience with sensory/autistic kids, any suggestions?
Perhaps such a Rabbi would be perfect as a contributor to Mosh3’s new website! 🙂
