Unrippable t shirts

I have a son with SN and his newest hobby is ripping his clothes! He now literally has one t shirt left. He is sending me bankrupt. Is there such thing as an unrippable t shirt? I've tried googling but can't find anything. Any suggestions greatly welcomed

Hmm have you watched him do it. Is it from the seams? And you could add another layer of stitching?

Can you give him fabric/old tee shirts to rip. Ie redirect him too?

Sorry if I'm no help, not heard of this one before

No I've not heard of it before either he is a nightmare tbh he is just so quick. He needs two/three changes of clothes for school everyday. He has hardly any clothes left and I'm just at my wits end with it tbh. I give him bits of old t shirts he's already ripped but that doesn't stop him. Between this and an ongoing issue with another issue I feel like I'm losing my mind

Would double hemming them help or does he just do it superman style??

They talk about schemas and children. It's been years since I've read any so don't judge. But I had one child who ripped all the paper off crayons and then broke them. It drive me demented.

Read up on schemas and it suggests that it's a need so I gave newspaper to rip. Lots of Lego to break up etc....

Sorry long shot
