Someone in my life was recently talking about masked autism in adults:
The naive clinician or therapist asks, "do you have difficulty with socks?" and the autistic adult says no and concludes they don't have autism
The really knowledgeable one asks, "so tell me about socks," and receives a massive infodump about the very specific choices they made about socks and comfort

I'm mostly okay with socks, but can't stand socks that go past my ankle.
Also, why do socks have to be so... messy? My wife's sock drawer looks like an explosion of color (in neatly rolled up balls) while mine is just a bunch or the exact same sock. Any time I need new socks I try to get the exact ones I have, and if I can't then I throw ALL the old ones away and buy many new identical pairs.
But yeah, I don't have any difficulty with socks... because I figured out the very weird and specific way to avoid difficulties for myself.
