Clothing Issues

Hello, sorry to hear about the abuse, that's so hard when you love 'em to bits.

I buy a soft iron on lining for the inside of ANY patterns that may be on tops (from ebay) my daughter is sensitive even if the pattern is just slightly raised or rubbery or stitched on the outside. The liner just softens the feel of the fabric on her skin. She also uses a super soft vest or crop top if able.

We always do velcro school shoes & slips on pumps / trainers as we haven't yet mastered any buckles or laces. She often wears her sock inside out or I stretch them very loose to avoid that squeezing feeling. I work in a school wear children with autism can wear slippers ? would this be possible at your son's school ?  

We too have clothing issues - both seams & fabrics but also what to wear. In 34 degrees she will insist on her cardigan fully buttoned up for school simply because she usually wears a cardigan fully buttoned up. We struggle to choose something appropriate for weather or the event as she finds change & selection difficult.

She is now 10 & has more recently become more aware of what her peers are wearing BUT unable to make sense of it all so sometimes she will be desperate for a crop top without realising what one even is! or want a pair of certain shoes - that she will never ever wear, again without realises what they actually are.
