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 I put a clearly neurospicy mind to the choice of downstairs flooring.
I have to say the days of research and work to find R and u values were worth it, ended up with compressed bamboo over a thermal break underlay. The combination of that layer of (urgh) tiny polystyrene beads and the thermal mass and mild insulation of the bamboo is just warm and just soft enough.
(Replaced 80s cheap carpet over cheap and expired underlay on concrete).
Oops: I just proved that point re an essay...
