Hello - my 14yo son is on the spectrum and I have a question. He is very self reliant i.e. makes his pack lunch, does his homework without prompting and likes to be in control which is great.
He has always had clothes sensitivities but has got better with age.
He went to specialist schools but recently moved to a mainstream school and we all thought he with struggle with the transition but he has done amazingly well.
My question is that he has to sleep in his school shirt and tie and he cant bare to put it on in the morning.
Is this something i should be getting him out of the habit of or say oh well he done amazing in so many areas that this is a small thing.
My worries are safety (sleeping with a tie on), smell (he doesn't yet) , tidiness (he looks like he has slept in his clothes)
When I ask him he says no and i can see the look of stress in his eyes
