I did a very autistic thing and bought summer clothes in 2 to 4 packs.
I am now the proud owner of:
- 9 capri leggings in 4 colors.
- 10 of the same tank top all in different colors.
- 4 bike shorts in different colors.
- 17 autistic t-shirts from my store in 5 different colors (they come in more colors, I just buy the same colors lol)
I will officially wear the same outfits every day in various colors when both sleeping and being outside in the heat lol

One of the totally unfair advantages of presenting as male, is that no one bats an eye if you do this. In fact I've been doing this forever, long before realising I was autistic. Multiples of everything, same sensory friendly clothes all the time. 😊
Unless you're a gay male, because we're supposed to be fashion-conscious and spend an inordinate amount of time coordinating.
I cheat because my other half buys my clothes, and I worked out a system to keep me from wearing the same clothes over and over. Clothes to wear get pulled from the left, clothes from laundry get put in from the right. Everything stays in rotation, and I can manage to pick colors that match.
@pathfinder And this is an issue how...?
@ScottSoCal @ashleyspencer @actuallyautistic
Colours that match, is me basically always buying blue, with the occasional grey. But then I'm colour blind.
Also, since I'm one of those people who can look scruffy even in the most fashionable and expensive of clothes, only the most wildly optimistic would expect me to try and keep up with fashion 😂
