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 love the fact that so many of us have moved straight past the point of this toot to talk about socks. The fact that something doesn’t have to be a special interest for us to engage.

I immediately started thinking about all the times when socks have mattered to me in some way.

@Susan60 it's cool to see it happen ❤️

Cool, and funny in a really lovely way. I laughed, at the same time as feeling that I belong.
