How to stop my child taking all clothes off

How do I get my child to stop taking his clothes off.

This happens when there is water about and he thinks he's getting a bath or if it's to warm. He completely strips all off including underwear 

He doesn't understand you can't run round naked 

Any tips

  • My 3 year old had just started doing this over he last couple of weeks. Everytime she's home or at my mums shes complety naked. She tried it at the park yeaturday too .. that's a first. 

    If you find an answer let me no!!

  • Thank you so much. That would be great 

  • He's the exact same. I'm very lucky he only does it at home to. He's the same would just run on in not understanding anyone could be in there.

    I now just have to keep an eye on him. Hopefully he will understand soon

  • Hi NAS69965,

    When the service reopens, it may be useful to call the Parent to Parent Helpline, which is an excellent means of hearing from other parents and discussing solutions to specific issues, and so on. It is temporarily closed due to a high volume of calls, but we hope that this won't take too long. You can find more information here: https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support/parent-to-parent

    Best wishes,

  • If you find an answer for this, I'd like to know...

    My 10 year old granddaughter does this. Luckily she only does it at home (and I include my home and her other nanna's home in that). She doesn't do it outside the home. However, she doesn't take into account that there may be people visiting and she'll just wander into the kitchen, or the living room, totally unclad! Nothing we've said or done has stopped this habit yet. 

  • I try this but to no avail. Thankfully today no clothes where taking off so hopefully he won't do it again 

  • I remember my mom would just yell at me to stop and tell me I can't do that and prevent me removing the clothing, and I'd be crying, she'll tell me the consequences, that police would catch me and send me to jail, and she would not tolerate this kind of behavior. Even If I removed my jacket because it's too hot, she'll immediately put it back on, saying it's too cold outside, that you'll catch a cold.
