Clothing advice needed

NAS88425

Hi there! I am a parent of a 6 year old girl who has ? ASD/ ADD. 
I am here to educate myself. 

She is fixed on wearing a nightie both day and night. Often, she wears the same underwear. We wish to support her but also to find a balance with hygiene and social expectations from her peers. 

Some of the reasons we can tease out are sensory, dislike of change and control. Clothing causing her meltdowns and stress. As you all probably know better than me this is hard as she is growing and needs new clothing/footwear. 

I would love some advice, wise words or simply hearing from the people who may understand the best. 

Many Thanks in advance

    You could consider getting something like 10 pairs of exactly the same underwear that she likes and get her to build a routine of swapping them out each nigh - maybe make a ritual out of it.

    As for when she grows, you could consider finding a style that does not change much with the seasons and get her to just buy a bigger version of each one as she grows.
