| I usually wear cargo cotton trousers as they're really comfortable, can't stand wearing jeans or leggings, I prefer loose fitting clothing and a cotton t-shirt, I tend to go for 100% cotton clothing if I can so my skin doesn't get irritated, leather trainers (can't wear synthetic too uncomfortable).... |

Nevertheless, I did not do it for this, and... |

I forgot to add my score on the Aspie quiz is
Your Aspie score: 183 of 200
Your neurotypical (not-autistic) score 28 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie |
