My son is autistic. When he was younger he would take off his pjs and diaper at night / then eventually pee somewhere in his room. I solve the problem by buying one piece footed pjs, cutting of the feet and then putting them on him backwards - making it impossible for him to undo the buttons. He's 23 now and still wears them - don't know if he'd still undress at night but I don't want to chance it.

Use rainmom's suggestion. Look up adaptive clothing. They sell one-piece adult jumpsuits that fasten up the back, for exactly this problem. You know you are not alone when you can find the garments you need online!
