Things went really well at school this year. My son decided he wanted to tell his 3rd grade class about his autism. I think that helped prevent the problems. Or at least I didn't hear about them. Now it is summer, and he is still wearing ONLY red t-shirts. (They even have to be the same brand.) I co...

Hi! My son is 8 and he is particular as well about his clothes and shoes etc... Most of all pants, he will wear the same pants everyday. He actually doesn't like clean clothes, he likes them to be 'broken in' as someone here at WP described. I know how you feel being torn between protecting him fro...

I just realized how lucky we are to have uniforms. My son wears the same khaki pants, same white polo shirt, same white socks and same brown belt every day and no one thinks anything of it. On the one hand, it would be great for his school to have uniforms. But the problem is, he refuses to wear an...

Have you asked him why he will only wear a red shirt?


Yes, I've asked him. He won't give an answer. He just kind of withdraws and groans at me. That's his standard response when he doesn't want to talk about something.

From a practical perspective, there's nothing wrong with wearing the same thing. Clothing is for body coverage, protection, and warmth. From a SOCIAL perspective, I am concerned that it is a very obvious way that he may appear "different" from the other kids. I don't care if he's different. He's per...

Hi all.... I would love some insight so I can understand my son. He is 8 years old and fully mainstreamed. For several years, he has been VERY specific about what he will wear. If allowed, he will wear a solid red shirt every single day. No printing, no buttons, no nothing. In warm weather, it's a t...
