are you tactile?

[Guest guest]

Just wondering -------

My is SO tactile.

Especially with smells.

She has smelled EVERYTHING ever since I can remember. Down to pens,

pencils, paper, silverware, well, EVERYTHING!

I remember her kindergaten teacher asking me about it after just a

week in school. I guess she went around the classroom smelling

everything.

If something doesn't smell right, she won't have anything to do with

it.

She can't even take a blanket back into her bedroom if it's been in

another part of the house until it's washed. She says it picks up

the smell from wherever it's been, and it's not the " bedroom " smell.

I always thought this was due to her OCD. She takes deoderant and

perfume with her EVERYWHERE she goes.

And, that may be it - her OCD.

I can't even sit next to her if I've not brushed my teeth and washed

my hands. I smoke, so that smell really bothers her.

But, I was wondering if maybe EDS had any part in this.

I don't notice it as much in myself. But, I do have a problem with

smells. My house has to smell just right. If not, I'm forever

looking for the " source " of the weird smell (even if it's not a bad

smell) and cleaning everything I can think of that may be causing

it. (when I feel ok, that is)

Anybody else have this " problem " ?
