Hello dear community. Today I am reaching out to you, to tell you more about my life as a blue, blue asperger's mom. One of the things we love most as moms is buying clothes for our children, there is so much variety! We see a dress and we already imagine our little girl, a sweatshirt and we imagine our little boy. In my case, it was quite a challenge.
¡Ropa dura no mami!
Pronto me di cuenta que mi niño prefería estar en ropa interior, por más que yo le vestía, a él no le agradaba. Rápidamente toda su ropa fue quedando en el closet, nueva, él crecía y yo terminaba regalando todo. Notaba especialmente cierta aversión a los jeans, me decía que eran duros y a él no le gustaba la ropa dura.. Los zapatos eran otro tema, realmente no los soportaba, eran un suplicio y terminaba descalzo todo el día.
Una vez tuve el diagnostico de su condición, empecé a comprarle ropa de tejidos planos, suaves, olvidé los jeans, sin embargo, tenía que hacer otra cosa, eliminar las etiquetas. No soporta las etiquetas, me indica que también son “duras”.
No hard clothes mommy!
I soon realized that my boy preferred to be in his underwear, no matter how much I dressed him, he didn't like it. Quickly all his clothes were left in the closet, new, he grew up and I ended up giving everything away. I especially noticed a certain aversion to jeans, he told me that they were hard and he didn't like hard clothes. Shoes were another issue, he really couldn't stand them, they were an ordeal and he would end up barefoot all day.
Once I had the diagnosis of his condition, I started buying him soft, flat woven clothes, I forgot the jeans, however, I had to do something else, remove the labels. He can't stand labels, he indicates to me that they are "hard" too.
Hipersensibilidad.
Aprendí que bajo el espectro autista, en mi caso asperger, los sentidos son mucho más sensibles que para una persona neurotipica, unas personas son mucho más sensibles que otras, en el caso de mi niño, su hipersensibilidad se manifiesta en el tacto, por lo tanto los tejidos de la ropa son un tema delicado para él, solo escoge franelas, tejidos de algodón y pantalones suaves deportivos, en cuanto a los zapatos, aun con 11 años, los evita apenas puede.
He tenido que entender todo esto, no pude vestirlo como yo quería, sin embargo lo importante es aquello que lo haga sentir bien a él, ¡para mi es hermoso usando cualquier ropa!
Hypersensitivity.
I learned that under the autistic spectrum, in my case asperger, the senses are much more sensitive than for a neurotypical person, some people are much more sensitive than others, in the case of my child, his hypersensitivity is manifested in touch, therefore the fabrics of clothing are a sensitive issue for him, he only chooses flannels, cotton fabrics and soft sports pants, as for shoes, even with 11 years, he avoids them as soon as he can.
I have had to understand all this, I could not dress him the way I wanted to, however the important thing is what makes him feel good, for me he is beautiful wearing any clothes!
