[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the uniform idea!

To be honest, her "going to school" look sounds like most neurotypical teens right now. I see lots of pajama pants and messy hair when I drop my high school freshman off. Can she do a messy bun?

I'd hang two "nicer" outfits on one side of her closet. Even better if the pieces mix and match.  [/quote]

This is OP - Thanks everyone for all these suggestions! I think it's a great idea to send her off to college with a few outfits that she would use for certain occasions. I agree - her everyday look is fine right now as most of the teen girls are in sweats with ponytails and messy buns. I'm thinking for college (when she won't have me or her sister there to help her) we could get outfits that she can use for certain situations (interviews, night out with friends, etc). Her sister will be a big help with picking these out.

Her hairdresser suggested braiding her hair at night and taking it out in the morning idea to her, but she won't do it due to sensory issues (says it feels weird to sleep in a braid). [/quote]
