Special_talent123 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Thats a sign of sensitivity to certain types of clothing. For me jeans would itch so i would use cotton trousers.Tights itch so use leggings. Try on clothes before buying to see if he can tolerate the texture Edited June 24, 2013 by trekster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shnoing Report post Posted May 13, 2013 ... just been diagnosed with aspergers ... its like all of a sudden everything is dangerous could this be him trying it on or its this aspergers ... For the time being, I'd say it's a normal reaction to such a big change in his life. He has to re-assess all his experiences in the (new) light of his diagnosis. It took me about one year (!) at the time, and I was already 37 and we had already gotten our son's dx. It might help to keep the changes in his routines at a minimum for some time.

trekster Report post Posted May 13, 2013 agree with both points mentioned above. I would say reactive anxiety to his diagnosis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smileyK Report post Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) you probably know this answer by now as only just got chance to replying to your post as been so busy with new job, work but refusing wear such type/texture, material of clothing would be likely highly possible down to sensory issues and is quite common factor within ASD. so is pointing sensory in that direction he may just have sensory issues on it's own. hope that's some informative and not too late. i have both AS & Dyspraxia and sensory issues may be down to just the dyspraxia acting alone but worth investigating/checking out further so rule out 'anything else' to give you peace of mind more than anything.
