Girl With Autism Wanted A Shirt That Was Discontinued, So The Internet Responded In Epic Fashion
When Deborah Grimshaw Skouson’s daughter Camilla grew out of her favorite shirt, she didn’t know what to do. Camilla has autism and she’d been fixated on that one particular flowery garment since she was in kindergarten, but the line was discontinued by Target in 2012.
Fortunately the internet was there to save the day, because when Deborah, from Utah, took to Facebook to ask for help, Her post was quickly shared almost 5,000 times before being shared an additional 13,000 times on popular Facebook page Love What Matters. Before she knew it, Deborah didn’t just have a new replacement for Camilla’s favorite shirt – she had 78 of them!

I came to the comments because I was afraid there would be negative comments. Relieved to see there arent any. My son is 15 and autistic. This is kind of what we deal with. You would not be able to rationalize with him. "they just dont make this shirt anymore." it does NO GOOD to try and rationalize with someone who is irrational. it depends upon their I.Q. really, or their "mental age". Hopefully for this family, and my son, after years of therapy, they will become more rational.

I have an autistic son who is now 27 and still has his favorite clothes - when he was little he loved his "star pyjamas" and wore them until they were threadbare, just in time we found an identical set in an op shop which kept him going! Now it is a black woolen cardigan that I have patched up way too many times...
