DrAmreen Khan OT on Instagram: "The child is demonstrating tactile defensiveness, a sensory processing difficulty commonly seen in neurodivergent children. Certain textures, touch input, and environmental factors such as temperature and climate are processed as overwhelming or aversive by his nervous system.
