What age of kids are we talking about? 4 or 5 years old? 16 or 17 years old?
I have known people where their young kids ran around in underwear at home and out in the yard. They only put on clothes when going somewhere or in the wintertime. It was a little surprising, but nothing objectionable.
If they were still doing that as teenagers, it would change things a bit.
i'm talking about 10 or under
I can't imagine the objection, then, on the spectrum or not.
One thing that would surprise most Americans is the Finnish saunas. As a young woman from Finland told me, they are so hot that it would be dangerous to wear clothes in there so everyone goes in the sauna naked. They sit there until really hot and then run out and roll in the snow and then go back into the sauna.
According to her, the whole family goes into the sauna together -- that it is not unusual for everyone from little kids through grandparents. And in public saunas, it is all ages as well but not necessarily related or even people who know each other.
