There is a reason autism screeners ask about socks and it’s because I don’t know a single autistic person that doesn’t have a strange relationship with them.
I prefer to be barefoot Whenever reasonably possible, and sometimes not so reasonably possible. I like to feel the ground under my feet.
But I live in the real world and I leave my house frequently and I don’t like wearing shoes without socks with the exception of one pair that I can get away with Because of how the shoe fits around my foot But that’s a tangent for a later date.
I own more types of socks than most autistic people that I know. Not all I know a few that are really into very diverse tights but they must have superpowers. 😉
This does not mean that any sock will do. This means that I’ve found more than one type of sock that I like, but I have certainly bought socks. I’ve had to return them or donate them because they did not work. What surprises me about my preferences In socks is that while I would rather completely be without them if I have to wear them, I want cushy ones. I want a little bit of compression around my arch and then I want to feel like I’m walking on a cloud if we are removing the Earth, I want to walk like a queen And not be bothered by anything beneath my feet. Thankfully, Dad likes to buy a bombas So I’m pretty set. I have three favorite pairs of hiking socks, Two are by smart wall and one is by Fox River SUPER cushy socks in barefoot shoes- yes I know I'm odd.
Okay thats my tangent on socks.
Bye
