 Autism and clothing, rough fabric, tricky textures, too tight, too loose, pesky tags, hey those things. Autistic people often need to spend a long time shopping for clothes that avoid these common issues. Rough fabric to me feels scratchy and almost sticky on my skin. Tags feel like tiny needles that I often have to remove completely before I can tolerate them. I've got excited about an online purchase so many times only to find that the fabric or tightness are not tolerable. Sometimes this even happens shopping in the high streets. I'll adore a certain item despite its negative qualities but I only wear it once after because I can't tolerate it on time. There's so much more time and monitoring investment involved in finding clothes that you love and can also tolerate. Even then, if you want to send stuff back that's another thing that you have to do. Should we consider this an autism tax? Let me know down in the comments.
