Can anyone explain?

Why is it that the clothes are such an issue for the boy?

He picks the clothes out at the store.

He has relative freedom to choose his clothes for school

EVERY
   SINGLE
      MORNING
         SUCKS

Perfectly good clothes he chose at the store, he no longer "likes" and with a PILE of clothes in the middle of the floor, I hear "But I can't find anything I want to wear!"

AARGH!!!!

Then the yelling, the crying, and the stress.  Well, actually, all that started about... almost 10 years ago. So I guess if it wasn't the clothes, it'd be something else.

On the other hand,  I was reminded by a friend on facebook-

I just try remembering that.  Every minute.  Remember- --I-- am responsible for encouraging his creativity.

    The other thing to do is pick the clothes out for him the night before and simply say "These are the clothes for today".

    Yes, that sometimes helps. Then many times, he gets dressed in completely different clothes and we say "but you picked those out last night!" and he replies "But I don't WANT to wear those!!!!!" Meh. It's all the same.

    I think the overwhelming thing is definitely part of it. WAY too many clothes.
