Does anyone have a solution for how to keep clothes on children who won't leave them there?  Both twins are forever removing shirts, socks and shoes.  While this is fine at home--we don't make them wear them--it is not okay out in public.  I have tried masking taping the shirt at the bottom but school removes it because they say it frustrates one to no end.  As you know, they are both autistic so it could be a sensory thing, but we haven't seen a preference to anything but naked.  We do know they don't like buttons--those have been chewed off.
Which leads me to my other question.  Does anyone have any solutions for compulsive chewers and suckers.  We have chewy tubes but they would still rather suck the shirts.  Thankfully, they don't bite holes in the clothes but they drench the whole front of the shirt.  I've pinned them in back but the pins come undone--scary--and school has used rubber bands but if they can't suck the top, they'll suck the middle or bottom.
Just a shoestring necklace hasn't worked either.  I thought maybe that would satisfy the desire for cloth, but no!
Any suggestions are welcome.
