A Solution for Kids With Autism

Monday, April 15th, 2013

When you have a child with autism, it’s sometimes the little things that make all the difference.That’s why Soft, a clothing brand that makes extra cozy outfits specifically for children with sensory sensitivity due to Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, and other conditions, has created a limited edition Autism Awareness tee for kids. Designed in collaboration with a mom of a child with autism, the tee is made of soft organic cotton, non-irritating seams, and non-toxic dyes and inks, and has printed labels in place of the scratchy tags that make us all cringe. The adorable and incredibly soft (trust me, I’ve felt one!) shirts will be available for $25 through the end of the month on softclothing.net. You’ll also feel good knowing that 20% of the profits go to Soft’s network of Autism organizations, such as Autism Speaks and Autism Society of America.
