Many autistic children have Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) or sensory processing differences. This means certain textures, seams or fabrics can feel far too intense or not intense enough. These sensory challenges can affect comfort, daily routines and even sleep.
Ambitious about Autism, the national charity for autistic children and young people, reports that 70% of autistic people say their lives would improve if others understood how important clothing comfort is to them. For many families, clothes are not a small detail. They can be the difference between calm and overwhelm.
Many autistic children find it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep. Sensory differences play a big role. The National Autistic Society’s sleep guide highlights that removing labels from night clothes or choosing softer materials can help make the bedroom more comfortable. Even small irritations, like a stiff seam or a rough neckline, can disrupt an evening routine.
Comfortable, predictable clothing is not a luxury at bedtime. It helps reduce sensory load at a moment when calm is essential.

We use “autistic children” because many autistic adults and organisations prefer identity-first language. Please use the language that fits your family.
