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 ...and to the second question I'd be all "I don't like socks, and my feet almost never get cold enough for it to feel worth wearing them, so year-round I have bare feet indoors and flip-flops outdoors even when it's freezing and people think I'm weird and they're right."
