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?

  • Well hope for us yet, just another 3 winters to get through! He doesn't really understand about choosing as yet, especially not with clothes. I was thinking about getting a fleece and a gilet for now which would leave his arms a bit less constricted.  Or maybe a fleece and a lightweight raincoat. Would 2 layers be worse though?
