my ADD 11-year-old is extremely ticklish. And no, I do not mean the "extremely ticklish" most of us understand - in his case his is quite exquistely ticklish. Any contact on his tummy or bare soles can seem like almost agony.

This is very cute obviously, but I am concerned about how his friends take advantage of it. I once mentioned it to a couple of his friends and the girls just laughed it off and said his ticklishness is "adorable" (their words)

Anyone else notice this problem? What are their most ticklish spots? and What is the most you have ever seen them tickled?

Thanks

My brother actually has this problem. I've never seen someone so uncomfortable with tickling before. My brother is now 30 years old and has been like this since he was a little boy. My brother was diagnosed when he was a chid. He takes no medication, denies he has adhd/add, and is obsessively clean. It seems he is most ticklish under his arms, his stomach, and his feet. But he freaks out if you were to tickle him anywhere.
