Guest guest Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 my 12 yo aspie daughter will have to dress out for pe beginning thursday. we have always had a problem getting her into shoes. presently she wears crocs and one pair of flip flops. however for pe she is required to wear lace up athletic footwear. we have tried on many pairs over the period of one month. just the trying on of shoes alone, sends her over the edge, so we would try on only 2 or 3 pairs each time we went out. after conversations about the necessity of this footwear and with the help of some shoe inserts, she agreed to a pair. that is until today when i asked her to " dress out " . i wanted to see if she could dress in a timely fashion and whether she could tolerate the apparel and shoes. things fell apart pretty quickly, clothes are too scratchy, don't fit right, but the shoes were the least tolerable part. i have spoken to the school about this possiblity, but was given the " tough love " speech which reveals their lack of understanding. she is medically diagnosed with asperger, general anxiety and audio processing, but there is no educational evaluation. does anybody have any tricks or approaches that might help my daughter tolerate her shoes better? regards, melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
