    Depends on how enthusiastic he is about it. I personally am am an aspie. I recommend having him wear whatever style underwear he normally wears, but a dark color. Possibly regimental if he normally wears boxers.

    You have to consider his perspective on this, in adition to others. Perhaps more info may be gathered in either the parents or autism issues subforums over on wrongplanet.net. I know there are a few kilties on there.

    Your advise is greatly appreciated

    Will is enthusiastic about it. For one thing, he has seen Angus (don't know the last name) of AC/DC wearing one and since he is a big fan of them, wants to emulate his heroes. But above that we want to instill a bit a pride in his heritage in him.

    Thanks for the insight

    I too recommend boxer-briefs, but depending on his sensitivity to various materials you might want to stick with whatever he's used to for undergarments and just find the same brand in a darker colour.

    If he is sensitive to the slightly scratchy (compared to brushed cotton) quality of the acrylic 'wool' a longer compression short, as recommended by forrestermodern, would be quite helpful.

    Don't forget that tartan "wee trews" (aka boxer shorts...I don't get the fascination with the word 'wee') are available a few places. Might not be easy to match the tartan, though.

    The other guys' suggestions regarding short workout shorts are probably more effective and less expensive.

    Note what Highland dancers are required to wear, and go for the same thing.
