Starting An Autism Clothing Line

Post Reply New Topic

LOL that last addition is funny!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could shop at stores made thinking of US? If we could buy clothes without inside tags that can't be totally removed, nudging assistants, etc.

I think there's potential for a clothing range focused on how the clothes feel - fitting vs loose, soft ones, silky ones, fluffy ones - all with easy-to-remove tags.

some 'here' [aka wp] seem to not know what autistic means either [autistic/autism means more than just aspergers/aspies].




there are some shops that have more autistic friendly clothing,marks and spencer is one,am buy socks and boxer shorts from their authentic range-they have reduced seams to a minimum and they have no labels.

it is possible a range of clothing completely designed for autistics would work because there are ranges designed for other needs,
like wheel chair users etc.
am have also seen some clothing just starting? for sensory problems but they were only in childrens sizes.

it would be good if a complete sensory friendly range was designed [for adults of all sizes],and they stop seeing children as the only ones who would be of any use in them.
am would like to see one of them make a slip on but tough sports bra that has smooth non silky/wet feeling material,no hooks,no seams,no bits of thread sticking out,no labels,and no logos.
not even marks and spencer do one without hooks at the least.

would be good if TheZack or anyone else with experience of what its like could design a complete autistic/sensory friendly range
eventually.

You click the images to buy the shirt - but I will add a buy link below the pictures to make it more obvious

Specifically what fabrics would you be looking for - I'll endeavor to try to help.

Adding to the store now

Can you get a little maturity?

Then use it to raise awairness - as a conversation starting point.

KingdomOfRats I don't know if you've ever been in one, but I think Jack Wills clothes are very Autism Friendly, their shop labels are fabric instead of card and are attached by saftey pins instead of plastic, most labels are stuck on and peal off but are the only labels I can actually keep on. There clothes are a bit more expensive but so comfortable and they last longer, I wear their boys pj bottoms outside
The shops themselves are not so great for Autistics but the people are really friendly and they don't mind how 'odd' you are.

If I wore tops like that I would wear one.

I'd like to see some designs. Some of these statements aren't well thought out.

I know this could only benefit you, but I would like to submit an idea.

With an arrow pointing up.

Here's another!

Can you stop being an NT apologist?

Acting like an idiot will never gain you respect from the world - so my guess is your a forum troll.

I wouldn't wear one. I hate drawing negative attention to myself.

I agree.
I suppose I try to stay as neutral as possible when I enter public places.
