Mom creates clothing line for autistics

The clothing is consciously designed without tags, seams, zippers, laces and buttons in breathable performance wear fabrics. It is also double-sided and equally meted at the crotch, seat and/or neckline, eliminating the opportunity for these kids to put anything on backwards or inside out. Most thought provoking, however, is the hidden compartment sewn into the clothing, which allows for optional GPS tracking and other monitoring devices.

It all started when Liam, Lauren's son, came out of the men’s room at a Mets game with his jeans down around his thighs. He was 12. "I was mortified. I just said, that’s it, there has to be a better way.", she explained.

The very first test where it was worn was on Liam.

"For kids that have more verbal skills than my son, I think it’s got to instill a sense of dignity in them. Liam got dressed that morning in those clothes and did not have one single temper tantrum. I think a lot of the time these kids have temper tantrums because they can’t verbalize why they are frustrated. He didn’t have a single one. Their dignity is at stake here", Lauren said.
