Concerned mom about my 5 yr. old wanting to wear the same pajamas for clothes everday?

My son is 5 yrs. old he wants to wear the same pajama outfit all the time, only time I can wash it is when he's in bed-he will even sleep naked if i don't have it ready for him to wear.

If his clothes has tags in them they have to be cut out, doesn't like to be hugged except from his father and I, never want's to go to birthday parties- will not play with other children. doesn't like crowds, wants to stay home a lot, throws a fit if you wash his face,brush his hair and even brush his teeth. really terrified of his dentist, and she is really great with him and he's been going to her since he's been a year old. His shoes are one certain kind-the ones that has no strings in them, the ones that actually are in style and strings are not worn with them.

He can't stand for his hands to be dirty, really freaks out if they get sticky he cannot handle it at all. he's not dealing well with having to start school this year. I'm having a difficult time with this?
