When my Emmy is really overtired her sensory issues get worse. Her OT noticed it at school too and said it is common. HTH!

Whenever I've had a stomach bug, I've always thought there's a "smell" to the toilet, no matter how clean. In fact, when I feel really ill, just a whiff of the toilet will make me vomit even if I wasn't quite ready to before.

My kids have never complained about the smell of the toilet but that's 'cus they rarely make it to the toilet. My kids seem to have no awareness of their bodies to know when they're about to vomit, until they're in the middle of spewing everywhere. We have a couple of bowls dedicated exclusively as "barf buckets," but they end up getting little use. I usually end up cleaning walls, floors, beds, etc.
