Have you tried wool socks? Little more expensive but they last a looooong time and they don’t have the sensory issues that others do. Also super comfortable both in extreme heat and cold.
I hate how some days my woollen jumpers are lovely-so cosy and swaddling, and others ‘oh dear gawd the wool is a thousand microscopic needles boring into every square centimetre of my skin make it STOP. Autism weather 👎🏼
I have 2 'safe' hoodies-one cashmere off ebay & one v heavy jersey. Sensory relief every time I put them on. Pulling the hood v tight round my gourd=even more relief on overstimulated days. I've heard tell of specially weighted hoodies for ND folk. Longing for one tbh.
My mall strategy is to imagine that I'm in a zombie LARP. My mission is simple: get in there, get the necessary supplies for the friends and family sheltering in place, and get out without being infected.
I’m at the point where the socks I’ve had for several years have started wearing out.
I don’t have textural issues but don’t like mismatched socks, so I buy a dozen pairs of the exact same ones so I always have pairs. Now I’ve gotta find replacements which is gonna be fun.
The appropriate category is calculated by finding one of those people who think people fake autism for attention and measuring how long they groan for when you tell them the story
Heaven help me if I can feel compression on the top of my toes from material stretching tight over them. The only thing worse is a tight cuff on the ankle.
Anyone think about the Princess and the Pea sometimes?
I am always sad that more autism research funding doesn't go into just making socks less evil. Imagine the increases in human happiness that might be possible?!?
My level 5 is finding the perfect colour and texture jumper with just the right amount of diamanté (can take hours of multiple shopping days in town) only to fall at the last fence of the dreaded 'Round Neck'. Can't bear them......too stifling !

For me, it’ll be off to Kmart which is where I got the last lot and they lasted 6 years.
Wait.
What do the categories mean.
Sending hopes and prayers

Not that I have the impossibility but still...
