You've just made me aware that I've only liked wearing close fitting jeans all my life so that they hold onto me and calm me down! Another autistic mystery solved.
I'm much the same with clothes. My grandmother recently bought me lots of more loosely fitting t shirts and I'm not sure I feel entire comfortable. I only wear tight fitting jeans when I wear jeans or I don't feel right.
I almost always keep my coat on for extra tightness too.
I decided to order a refurbished squeeze vest. Once VAT was taken off, it cost me £146. £100 of that was for my birthday from my wife's family and the rest I used my DLA for. I am excited to have something to open that I want on my birthday.
