Clothing for Children with Autism

Posted by BenefitWear.com on 21st Mar 2024

Children with autism and other developmental disorders sometimes engage in the habit of removing their clothes.

Autism or children with Sensory Processing Disorder often have a hyper sensitivity to certain fabrics, clothing labels, laundry detergents,  scents or a need to  gain access to their diaper.

Parents and caregivers find this behavior most challenging.

One-piece underwear that zippers close in the back, make taking off of underwear more difficult. The same can be found with a jumpsuit that  features a zipper closing in the back. Jumpsuit are ideal for nighttime use or as an added under-layer for warmth in the winter. For those kids that are really dexterous, an added security buckle is an option.  

This will help control self-undressing at inappropriate times and places.
