Coats etc

My son really hates wearing anything that covers his elbows.  We are just about there with the summer to Autumn long sleeved tees and jumpers transition but having real screaming meltdown battles with coats.  Just worried about the weather getting colder. He loves the outdoors but gloves hats scarf all get thrown off.  He seems to find the big puffy coats particularly uncomfortable.  It's hard because you can't just buy a few different ones and experiment. Too expensive.  Particularly keen to hear from those with ASD and sensory issues or parents that have been through it. Any ideas on a coat we may be successful with?

  • I've been through this with my ds (6) we are currently at the other end of the spectrum whereby I've insists on wearing woolly gloves and hats all year round! 

    What worked for us was taking him shopping and letting him pick the coat? It wasnt my favourite day tbh and I didn't 'approve' of his choice BUT he wore it happily!!!
