Clothing Issues

Hi all,

Been struggling a lot recently and the cogs in my brain have seized completely making work impossible. This in turn has triggered my extreme discomfort with rough clothing, wristbands, wristbands and bra straps cutting in and generally wanting to scratch my skin off. I notice in alot of posts where kids are having meltdowns clothing often comes up as a problem - so I was wondering if it continued to adulthood as it seems to have done with me?

Not being able to just get on with work has put me in a vicious cycle of despair. I've gone from seeing my autism diagnosis as a relief to it just being another label for failure....and I'm doubting pretty much everything I thought I'd learned about it.

    • Hi! At 44 I still have problems with many clothing textures and I also cut the labels out of any clothing I buy. My preference (or requirement) is the cotton/jersey material that most t-shirts are made from, I also like things to be baggy otherwise I feel very constricted. I also don’t wear watches, bracelets etc. although on the few occasions I’ve been to festivals I’ve had real issues with the material wristbands. This may sound like a negative post but I just wanted to let you know that your not the only one. Try out a variety materials, styles, sizes and when you find something you like buy multiples of it. I generally buy 3 of each item...
