Oli has been nude most of his life, since 20 months he realized how to take his cloths off, but he is defient to put them on, I really don't think it is the sensory, but the change of feeling the cloths the transition. But I did have a thought that he is developing sensations so the stimm of wet on the floor is a new revelation. If he is detoxing he may feel heightened senses as compared to before, how is that going?
Try reinforcing the wearing of the favorite shirt, or get him what he is a fan of. Once, and only once, I got Oli dressed when he was MOST DETERMINED to not get dressed by having him watch Curious George and I had a little short jumper with the CG design and he got tricked into cloths and then I showed him a good time on made him want to get dressed. Once he is dressed it is sometimes hard to get him undressed, unless he knows he wants to, like bathtime. He won't let me change his full diaper, but with transition work after a few minutes he will.

Do brushing and different sensory stimulations to help him get used to having the clothes touching his skin...sounds like tactile defensiveness. Also, he wants to feel the wetness on his stomach. Check out my website again and go to the tactile defensiveness and see the links also for products.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
