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

Some day I want radiant floor heat and better insulation, I don't really like wearing socks indoors at all

@recursive i have moved to wearing cheap soft house slippers and they really work for me. They aren't tight like socks or annoying seams. They keep my feet warm enough but not too warm. Washable. And wearing them reduces the sensory experience of walking on different flooring. I usually find mine at Asian grocery stores in the US.

Slippers are indeed the way. Especially the soft and cushiony kind.
