Hi we found you site very interesting and thought we would share with you a patch we have been using on our autistic daughter. It’s made an unbelievable difference in her attention span & behavior. It’s called Aura Patches and is not a chemical patch. Check them out @ http://www.internapure.com/Blog/2009/07/09/aura-patch-autism-protocol/ keep up the good work.

Hi,

This is Jessica from Soft clothing–we will certainly be making clothing for adults ASAP. I get lots of requests daily for soft, seamless clothing for teens and up. If you want to submit specific ideas–I’d love to hear them! http://softclothing.net/Site/Soft_Family_Wall.html

kendall has some significant sensory issues (the most significant of which are sound related) but she tends to be pretty tolerant of clothing. which i find interesting because i’ve cut the tags out of my own clothing ever since i was a little kid. go figure.

i love that nigel comes up with his own solutions. so cool!

Evan would LOVE seamless socks…socks are the first thing to come off…well, shoes first. I think he would strip in the car after school if I would let him!

First, you are amazing to have endured all those years of sensory issues. It’s comforting for me (still in the midst of my daughter’s sensory mayhem) to see that your boys have learned to filter the input.

It’s so interesting to read about Nigel’s sensitivity to light. All winter Rhema has insisted on having the lights out when we’re in the living room. It’s o.k. with me, but with it getting dark outside around 4:30 p.m. – it made for a lot of stumbling around. (Thank goodness for daylight savings!) And lately, she’s been more tolerant of the light being on. I figured it was sensory-related, but reading about Nigel pretty much confirms it.

He’s a clever one…he’ll be developing all sorts of nifty tricks over the years.

I’ve got a few I use on a regular basis. I’m just going to use this post as a basis for my next post. We are cross-pollinating ideas. So thank you for this.

Thanks for writing about the sensory stuff. It’s always interesting to read about others’ experiences with it as my own Little Man is bombarded with sensory overload every day. Sometimes I can almost forget that he deals with it but it’s never for more than a day or so!

Soft clothing. I like the sound of it. We should all be wearing clothing that is comfortable, and soft.

Wow, my only question is, do you know if they will be making any for adults? Something like this would be a dream come true for me. I have been wishing for a company that would make clothes for people with sensory issues like AS for as long as I can remember. Clothing remains my biggest issue in life, and if I could find a place where I could find clothes that I could tolerate and get a wardrobe for the first time my life, really….That would be amazing.
