Anxiety and refusal to wear clothes

NAS77403

Hi

This is my first post regarding my 8yr old non verbal autistic daughter. The last few months she refused coats , bottoms , cardigans and only wanted to wear tops and shorts. The school said this is part of her sensory issues ( she has been under OT since she was 4yrs old) 

But now  she is completely refusing to wear ANY clothes , she is naked. Every time we try to dress her , she screams , she is literally scared of clothes, her anxiety goes through the roof 

doesn’t want them anywhere near her , 

Because of this she has not been in school for the past 2 weeks , waiting for a CAMHS assessment 

anyone help with suggestions ?

    we have cut all the labels , brought all different styles of clothing - loose fit / tight fit , plain colours, different materials , offered “bribes “ , given her a choice but she doesn’t want them near her - she just screams 

    We have done the brushing technique ( and the school ) still nothing 

    fingers crossed for CAMHS
