soft clothing

Hello,

I am a therapist, and I work with children with Autism and Sensory Intergrative Dysfunction ages 3-7. I am starting a clothing line for children who have extreme sensitivity to clothing textures and cuts, and for parents who want to stop fighting with their kids about clothes, and who want to find clothes appropriate for varied occasions, that their children will actually want to put on (and keep on!). I have worked with numerous children who demonstrate challenging behavior as a result of being highly reactive to the touch and feel of their clothing. I have been working with parents, children, designers, and cotton experts/manufacturers to try and design clothing that will "work" for all children.

What I would like to hear from you in the Autism community, are your personal stories with clothing.

What are your needs?
How is it challenging?
What do you wish you could find but cant?
What do you wish you could find easier?
What kinds of clothing do you wish you could find (occasion wear, school clothes, night clothes, undergarments, adult clothing)?
What are the most important elements you look for?(flat seaming/seamless? no tags? soft cotton?)

and more?

I want to base my product on what parents/children/people really want and need!

And thank you!

It looks like a good idea - do you not have anything currently for sale?  I clicked through link after link and couldn't actually get to a price and a shopping cart.  If you aren't selling yet,  maybe a big flag on the homepage that says we currently are developing all the products,  check back (on some specific date) to purchase?

Also,  I vote for fashionable shorts and pants with an easier snap closure.

Best wishes.

Oh,  forgot to add,  adult sizes.
