I am convinced that SPD and Gt are linked. I have met several parents of kids with SPD issues and invariably, their kids end up testing GT (not necessarily HG or PG but definitely G and MG). That said, our issues revolve around clothing tags (a common one), short sleeves to long sleeves transitions (hates to wear short sleeves with a jacket - abhors the feel or a jacket on DS' bare skin) so we often wear long sleeves all year round except summer. DS is extremely sensitive to temperature - gets cold when the rest of us are okay or even hot. And, lots of issues surrounding getting hands dirty (play-doh was ok as was sand but not finger paints, or anything that could "stick").
Book recommendation: The Out-of-Synch Child by Kranovitz.
BTW - it can always be worse - I know a DS that needs to have his undies ironed before wearing. I don't know how they arrived at that solution but that is what works for them.Good luck!!!
