Hi, I have suspected for a while now my 4 (nearly 5) yo DD may be ASD. We are currently waiting to see a paediatrician. In the meantime, we are really struggling to find clothing she will wear. She literally claws at her skin when wearing most clothes and are down to a very limited range of things she can tolerate. There are two particular tops she prefers. These are from the H&M basics range, made of cotton 95% and elastane 5%. Unfortunately we only have 2 of them and anyway these are now a bit small. H&M no longer stock them in her size, though they have something similar I their conscious range but having bough so many clothes now that she will not go near, I'm weary of buying more so thought I'd see if anyone else has similar issues and, if so, whether you have found anything not too expensive that is acceptable. She has explained that she likes it to be a bit stretchy, not too loose around the cuffs and not itchy.
Also, we have no leggings she will touch. Having to make do with skirts and socks, feeling like a negligent mum at the school gate in this cold weather!!! Though she has complained that she feels too hot in many clothes. I'm wondering if this is typical for ASD children?
Thank you in advance for any tips!!
