[quote=Anonymous]My kid is in middle school and really dislikes wearing pants with zippers and buttons. We only recently realized he's on the spectrum. I don't see any harm with wearing athletic pants to school. But for special events, do your best to make sure your kid feels heard (ie, find out which part is hard for him, and why) Then in a non-emotional, non-angry way make it clear that it's non-negotiable. Let him know at what point in the celebration he can change back to comfortable clothes. Let him know it's a custom and that all the other males will be wearing that kind of clothing, and that it's a sign of respect towards his uncle. Just explain. That works for us. [/quote]
