Clothing and sensory overload, what actually works for you?

Scott

I’m autistic and for years I struggled with clothing without really understanding why. Labels, seams, certain fabrics, tight collars, heat and the general feeling of some clothes against my skin could become really distracting or overwhelming.

Since my diagnosis, a lot of those experiences have made much more sense to me.

  • Loose fitting, natural fibres and no short sleeves, no T-shirts, always trousers never dresses or skirts, mostly as I can't get tights to fit and stockings are at best just over my knees.

    I love knitwear, but can find little of it, I can no longer knit and I've never managed to crochet.

    I mostly end up with what fits and what I can afford rather than what I'd like.
