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 don’t get why everyone else has to try so many kinds of pants day after day, like they have some sort of problem with pants, where I’ve got five pair of the same pants that have the pockets where I want them. Why can’t they just find their right pants?
