Clothing?

SarahM

Hi everyone,

my 17 year old daughter really struggles to find clothing that she likes and is comfortable. She is highly sensitive to clothing and spends most of her days wearing the same set of pyjamas or her 1 ‘safe’ outfit to college.

I have found websites that look great with their specially designed clothing for autistic people, but they all have slogans etc about being neuro divergent, etc….nothing wrong with that, but she would love clothing that doesn’t necessarily have a statement?

We have considered her wearing an under garment that would act as a barrier, but they are always tight and make her feel very constricted….

i would love to hear any ideas etc that could help us, we have a friends wedding very soon and the only outfit my daughter feels safe in is covered in skull pictures  Joy

  • What type of material does she like? Does she like really loose clothing? If so there is a brand called Collusion on ASOS. They have unisex clothing that’s fashionable and the clothing is loose and very comfortable. I have loads from that range. They also do smart clothing. Asos is a great place to browse they have loads of variety of clothing and it’s easy and free to return to post office. Mark’s and spencer do an easy dressing range aimed at people with Sensory needs not sure what age or size this goes up to. George at Asda do an easy dressing range also. The brand Vans do a range of sensory trainers aimed at Autistic people with sensory issues.
