I'm not sure whether 13 month old girl is showing signs of sensory processing issues or ADHD. Anyone with experience/knowledge of this I'd really appreciate if you could share your thoughts, as I'm new to this and getting in touch with a pediatrician is next to impossible. I've known something was up for a while but I'm not sure if it's just her personality or something more. There are two main symptoms:
- complete aversion to touch. Does not like being held or hugged. I cannot comfort her when she cries, the only thing that works is distracting her with an object. Hates having hands/feet/face washed and now has a meltdown every time I change her nappy.
- will not sit still. Literally the only time she isn't on the move is when she sleeps. She's intensely curious about everything, loves touching things, opening and closing doors, crawling, puts everything in her mouth, loves climbing and playing peekaboo, points at everything
I could put both of the above down to her personality but they have recently become more extreme. I don't want to Google this any more. Any advice would be really appreciated, thank you in advance x
