I can’t find anything for his size. He only wears black! I need black footless sleepers in size 4 and I can’t find them anywhere!!! I’m losing my mind.
There is one adaptive clothing website I found, but they’re sold out of the black.
Does anyone have recommendations?
Thanks
My 8 yr old son looooooves hair. Touching it or smelling it. One of his therapists gave him a curtain tassel to touch. He really likes it because it's soft like hair. Maybe give it a try? Or a super… read more
Has anyone ever heard of Angel Sense? If u have have u tried it? My son will be starting classes in September with BCIU/early intervention and im worried how he will do and how teachers will treat him. It has a tracker if ur kid goes missing and u can even listen in on conversation wherever they are. It snaps to clothing or backpack. Wanted to know if its worth getting for the price and is it really reliable. Its rated 5 star's. Let me know what u guys think.
You could look into Apples Air Tags. They are really just for gps, and don’t have video or audio capabilities, but you can hang or place them almost anywhere. If your child has a tendency to take off… read more
My son is exceptionally good at sneaking things in his pockets even when we're close by. He then says his brain told him to. He as no control of his thoughts or impulses and rarely understands what he's done is wrong. We've tried all kinds of instructions and disciplines and nothing changes the behavior.
Very likely, he doesn't understand perspective-taking and, hence, cannot understand the weight of his behaviors ... Seek CBT and a speech therapist for advise.
Hi i wondered if anyone could help , my son has aspergers and struggles with sensitivity over the past 2 years my son has been sensitive in his groin area where he constantly has to cross his legs as he says he cant handle the feeling , its taking over his life , the drs are no good and say its something he needs to deal with .
As I said, showering due to sensory issues has exasperated his problem. He is still sensitive to zippers and tight pants…most days he is slouching around with his pants below his hips. We are hoping… read more
We’ve tried many disciplinary actions. Nothing seems to be working we do not know what to do.
This is becoming problematic over here because he will strip the moment my back is turned or attention diverted. It's not necessarily a clothing texture thing. He doesnt have an issue wearing clothes to go out of the house and doesnt show a strong aversion to anything except a senory vest. He just simply prefers to be butt naked at home and has no concept of why wearing clothing is necessary, which is a problem when he's not potty trained. Also, getting into the colder months the house runs a… read more
Hi! My daughter used to disrobe at night before falling asleep in the winter months as well. As long as it's not an aversion to the fabric or something along those lines, I suggest putting him a… read more

We had a similar experience where my daughter just wasn't responding to certain therapists and the service we were using was having trouble keeping employees. She started out loving it and then just… read more
Hello everyone! This is my first time posting to this forum, but I've been a long time lurker. ;) I have a 6-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with Autism 2 years ago. She also has OCD and a healthy dose of anxiety. We have struggled with sensory processing issues for years, including auditory, olfactory, and tactile sensitivities. Getting dressed and staying dressed, in particular, is one of our biggest challenges. I know we are far from alone, and the options for dressing our sensitive… read more
That is an incredible idea!👏👏
I have been doing a lot of research on the internet lately to see if there is any other natural things that may be of use to my severe autistic 13 yr old daughter for self injury. I have seen a lot of people try supplements B6, Calcium, Magnesium, & DMG and some have had a lot of success. Just wondering if anyone has tried these with their child? and the outcomes? Any negative effects?
I've given my son B6 and Magnesium together before. After a few months, it seemed to lesson his hyperactivity. I gave him DMG when he was younger, but I don't remember how well it worked.
