Prefers to be in his underwear or naked (!)
While I know a bunch of kids who alwasy end up naked and have no Sensory issues to speak of. Some do have Sensory cahallenges, like my ds. He ended up naked alot too - though I think it was because after he trained himself to use the bathroom himself - he had a hard time rebuttoning etc., then most kids his age. Easier to take off then put back on.
Like pikajedi said, some people/kids can feel every line or bump and have sensitive skin. My ds does not, but I have found he "feels" better when his clothing is made of a natural fiber... Some people/kids like loose clothing - my ds likes it tight, in places - he used to love to wear a tie -(we had to stop him - too easy to pick on) He still wears his shirts buttoned to his neck...
Anyway, I think I should mention that what a fabric is made of is of great importance. Like you might notice he will want (need) to wear the same shirt - duplicate that fabric. (cotton is good- polyester usually not). Some people emit high "electric/energy" (don't know the real term for it) and they can actually hear the synthetic fabric as it repels the electric.(or something like that) It makes them very uncomfortable* I am doing a poor job of relaying this. * Sometimes wearing a copper bracelet will help to "ground" them. This is not in my sons case, but I have read about it.
Thought that you might want to look into it - anyone here know what this is called?
