Many autistics are irritated by the texture of certain fabrics or rough clothing in general (often including seams and labels). Some even resort to wearing clothes inside-out to avoid contact with seams. Thankfully, there’s now a line of clothing for children with such sensory issues. The brand is simply called ‘Soft’, and its clothes have the following special features (according to the company factsheet):
- Flat seaming for extra comfort
- Soft cotton combed, peached and bio-washed for extra softness and smoothness
- Wide collars for a roomy fit around the sensitive neckline
- Encased elastic waistbands that donʼt pinch
- Printed labels that donʼt itch
- Printed details like buttons, zippers, ties, and accessories—allowing children to dress up without discomfort
- Vegetable dyes, natural enzyme washes, and water-based prints to protect against allergies
