Excessive itching in autistic child

by Kathy Lea
(Princeton, NC USA)

My son is autistic and has increasingly complained about itching, to the point that he is miserable. I don't believe it is the result of an allergy, but because of his sensory disorder. I'm interested in any way I can help him. Usually I rub him or I "brush" him with a soft brush his OT gave me.

We believe he has SPD also as he seems to have a lot of the symptoms on the evaluation sheet. He also wants us to scratch him at night especially because he is itchy. We put lotion on him whenever he has a bath or shower. He is now 5 and 1/2. He also complains about tags on his clothing and frequently asks me to cut them off which I do.

Huh, my son has SPD and always complains he is ichy too. I never though it might be SPD, just figured it's his allergy's.The doctor told him to put an ice pack or wet rag on where it itches and he is on claritin. I bought some gold bond itch lotion that seems to help.
