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

@recursive The joke I've heard is that they ask if you have problems with socks, and neurotypical people say "no," but autistic people say "no, I have a system."
@joby @recursive
i have no probem with socks, i just buy 20 of the same color and there will ever be at most a single one
