Hi all. I'm new to the group so sorry if this has been asked before. My 10 year old daughter has a new diagnosis of autism after 7 years of struggling with her behaviour/traits etc. However we are struggling increasingly with clothing issues. Everything is too tight/scratchy etc etc the biggest issue is underwear And dislikes anything that she has to wear. I've tried all styles of underwear and a range of sizes. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions. Specific seamless underwear are just too expensive. Please help!!
I've seen an interview with Dr Temple Grandin where she talks about having to wash new clothes four or five times before she can tolerate wearing them. I mostly wear a scruffy old dressing gown around the house. It's helpful to know I'm not the only one with this problem.
