Answer 1

i'm an aspie and i have quite a sensitive nose, but not like that. the body wash i've used for years was recently discontinued, so i sat down at whole foods for over 30 minutes smelling for one that didn't bother me and that i liked. i found something for about $13 at 500ml. luckily, it lasts a long time, and it also washes my hair. it seems that viagra will do the job you seek, but i wouldn't recommend that!

Answer 2

I'm not aware of any medication for that, but there are ways to kill the smell receptors in your nose (they'll grow back in 2 weeks iirc). Sniffing gasoline works according to my neuroanatomy professor, but that doesn't sound like a safe thing to do on a regular basis, so I'd recommend seeing a doctor that deals with noses or the nervous system and asking them. Your GP is likely worthless when it comes to stuff like that.

Oh, and btw... my husband is on several Asperger's mailing lists and people there don't generally believe in the use of homeopathy for this kinda stuff, sorry.

Answer 3

Look for a holistic doctor who specializes in homeopathy, who may suggest exposing her to tiny, tiny amounts -- maybe someone with a nutritionist background, surprisingly.

Answer 4

You have time to harrass people? Spend time treating your child.

Answer 5

I'm so sorry about your daughter, but what i would really do is to pray to God for healing.
