🌟Fabrics - Neurodivergent-friendly (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, OCD) 🧵
Fabulously neurodivergent-friendly (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, OCD) fabric items that everyone will love ♾🌈🫶
If you only treat yourself to one thing this year, let it be these! I cannot stress enough how utterly fabulous these feel on.
They are the softest material I think I've come across, they sit like a second skin, and nothing digs in when you're wearing them and when working out (there are plenty of yoga pants that dig in when you're on the floor, these don't!). They fit perfectly, look amazing, and unbelievable for the price.
I paid £90 ($120) for a pair from a well-know brand but these are far and away better value for money. I am going to be LIVING in these. I have navy and I am going to get a set in every colour because I adore them.
One of my most favourite neurodivergent-friendly items on my lists. It says they are for women, frankly I don't care about that, I think every human on the planet should be wearing a pair! 🥰

I CANNOT say enough how fabulously lovely these towels are. Usually, I'm not too fond of the sensation of drying off after showering, but these towels are so absorbent that I wrap them around me and the water is gone. They are super, super soft, lovely gentle colours for the bathroom, so calming on the nerves, they wash fantastically well, so no need to tumble dry as they will not dry hard (like normal cotton towels do) and of course, they dry super fast too so no...
Hands down the best dry robe I've had. This is so lightweight, easy to use, and importantly has super soft fabric that doesn't cause me anxiety. It dries me quickly after I've been swimming (I do a lot of outdoor swimming!) and the robe dries quickly too, so no heavy and eternally wet robe to have to drag around. So easy to quickly get changed out of wet swimgear underneath and put on lovely dry clothes 🫶🏽
Many with OCD say they prefer to use a different face cloth each time they wash, and they're not alone. I hear many people from the neurodivergent community saying they need to feel fresh fabric on their face each time they either want to have a face (or body) wash or dry. These little bamboo cotton squares were created with babies in mind so they are obviously super soft and friendly to the skin. They are the perfect size to store in the bathroom, pop one into your pocket or bag for on the go and they wash beautifully. I have bought many packs of these over the years and I absolutely love them, highly recommend as neurodivergent-friendly wash cloths 🥰
Many neurodivergent people are sensitive to fragrances and fabrics so it's really tricky to find wet wipes that don't cause anxiety. After many, many years of trial and error, it was my mum who suggested I try these wipes to remove makeup, clean my hands on the go, and for bathroom clean ups. I was sceptical, but I have never looked back. They are so gentle on the skin in terms of touch and have not caused any reaction. The wipes themselves are touchable and the scent is super light. I have hyperosmia (incredible sensitive to smells) and I can easily tolerate these. They are the only ones that I've found that also don't leave you feeling sticky in any way. They are as neurodivergent-friendly as wet wipes get so if you're looking for some for you or your children, these are fabulous 🥳
FINALLY! A fantastically soft t-shirt that also looks great!! This is a brilliant t-shirt whether you are neurodivergent or not. Lovely style, soft to the touch, great colours, and should feel super comfy to the wearer. Many neurodivergent people do not like scratchy or heavy fabrics, so this soft material will feel like a gentle hug. Absolutely love it ∞🌈🫶
After 48 years I have finally found tea towels that not only actually dry, but dry mega fast once used, AND do not leave fluff on everything! I can't remember when I last came across this phenomenon, it was probably at my grandma's house when I was a little girl and they made proper tea towels!
My neurodivergence means I'm incredibly sensitive to the feel of fabrics, especially when they get wet so finding these tea towels that feel lovely even when they're being used/drying out is amazing. I have the yellow and white ones and they add sunshine to my kitchen, there are so many lovely shades.
Recommend 100% as neurodivergent-friendly ❤️

So unbelievably soft and snuggly! I am head-over-heels in love with this ultra soft duvet set. If you struggle with rough fabrics, or get hot at night, or need plain sheets to sleep properly, these are absolutely perfect for you. They are warm in winter, cool in summer, and wash so well. I have a set in nearly every colour and and everyone in my household loves that. Many neurodivergent people are only comfortable with lightweight or soft fabrics next to the skin. These are a dream to sleep in and are genuinely the best value for money for a bedding set. Feels ultra luxurious and the first bedding set not to give me anxiety! 🥳
Best neurodivergent-friendly rug I have found anywhere! Underfoot fabric that is not the right texture or has the wrong pattern can be incredibly distressing to some neurodivergent people who may find it either anxiety-inducing to touch or difficult to process mentally and potentially causing balance issu... I have had a range of my neurodivergent friends and family try out various rugs and this one has won everyone over. It is the absolute best rug I have come across that has the right texture, pattern, and colour to it. It's so soft but durable. I only had it on the floor for a minute and in that time both of my cats settled on the rug and could not be moved. If your cat finds something good to lie on, it's a fantastic indicator that it will be neurodivergent-friendly. Best to put this rug on top of either non-patterned or neutral carpet, or wood flooring so you don't have a clash of patterns (I recommend non-slip underlay for the rug wherever you put it as rugs do creep, and Dunelm has the best non-slip underlay I... Love this 👏🏻
Absolute TOP scoring non-slip rug underlay I've come across (and I've tested many in my time!). If you find that you need things to be extra neat and are driven mad by rugs that creep out of place, then this is essential. I was a little skeptical, but it has done exactly what it was meant to do - hold the rug in place like superglue. It's really thin so doesn't add bulk to the rug it sits under, and works perfectly on either hard or carpeted floors. An absolute must for anyone who doesn't want to have to rejig the position of their rug every 5 minutes. Brilliant product and just one less thing to think about 🫶
The ULTIMATE in fabric luxury. Neurodivergent people can really struggle to wear heavy or rough fabrics, so cashmere is perhaps the most neurodivergent-friendly fabric there is. It's like wearing the softest hug and you can almost forget you're wearing it as it feels so natural and incredibly touchable. The ultimate in luxury and a staple for your wardrobe. This particular design is perfect to keep you snuggly in the colder months but it's also fabulous at keep you cool in the warmer months. If your budget can stretch to cashmere, it's the go-to of all fabrics and anyone will love the feel. This is a top end gift for yourself or a loved one ❤️
Cleaning cloths that actually work! I'm OCD and part of that is a need to clean a lot. For me to be able to feel settled after cleaning, I have to have used unscented cleaning products and for surfaces to be streak free and no lint. These cloths do it all, I am so happy as I go through so many of them. They wash fantastically well and being microfibre they dry super fast so even if they're in your wash basket waiting to wash they're not going to be getting damp and mouldy, they will dry out. Absolutely love them, work perfectly and I went with the multicolours as then I use different colours for different rooms 😊
The most snuggly comforting cover for a hot water bottle! There are quite a few fabrics that I just don't like the feel of, particularly when those fabrics get warm, so I spent such a long time finding a water bottle that had the right cover (I thought that finding a cover first then a hot water bottle to f... Better to find one that has the right cover with it already). This little cover looks charmingly like a jumper and so feels like you're snuggling someone rather than something and I absolutely loved that. It also radiates the right amount of heat so protects your from the hot water bottle but also allows the warmth to drift through, very comforting 😌
