My 13 year old daughter has been refusing to wear underwear for a few years, she can’t/won’t tolerate the feeling. We have tried all sorts of underwear, seam free etc to no avail. She has recently started her periods and we are having a nightmare. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance. Xx
Sorry you are having this issue with your daughter. No real advice, I'm afraid - but I know it isn't an uncommon thing. I used to work with an autistic chap who simply refused to wear multiple layers of clothing. Only ever one layer - winter and summer. And no underwear at all.
Can I ask... is she in mainstream schooling? Does she have learning disabilities? Does she have any other sensory issues?
She has always been educated in a mainstream school, earlier this year she moved to a mainstream school that has an autism base attached. No learning disability, sensory issues around all clothing. Specific material tshirts, no jackets in any weather.
