Since you people automatically care about fashion how should a girl my age dress? Fashion is my special interest and I have more experience as a girly girl than anyone on this forum. Tell me how a girly girl my age dress? I hate goth and edgy clothes.

Who are these people that "automatically" care about fashion? I'm not one of them. Honestly, I think most Aspies would probably care less about fashion than the average NT.

I think you should dress how you feel...or like a total decked-out slut. Either way, I respect both. 8)

We come in all shapes and sizes. A good fashion choice should take that into account.

Target's new swimsuit line, just released, recognizes this.

Just dress in clean clothes that fit decently and are comfortable.

Fashion is a form of art. Some people are really good at it.

That is a strange question! Generally I would recommend that you dress the way you want. Most Aspies do not care that much about fashion. They care about comfort.

So part of the answer must be location. One dresses differently at home than at their place of employment. As a man, there was a dress code whenever I went on travel. It was suit and tie. I hate suit and tie but I wore them because that is what was expect for the job. So if you go to work, you must abide by their dress codes.

In my case, I am very old, almost ancient. I was very overweight even obese and therefore fashion no matter what kind never fit good. I was alway unfashionable. But then I had weight loss surgery and dropped 120 pound and all of a sudden I could have fun with fashion again. So I went off and bought the latest styles for a teenager/young man and they fit. So they were a lot of fun. I also like the feel of various materials. If I touch a fabric and I like the way it feels, I tend to buy these. So I dress 50 years younger than my age. My wife thinks its undignified. But I like it so I do it.

Then you don't need us to tell you how to dress.

Usually I wear a skirt, trousers and shirts, sometimes a dress but not often. I think that's pretty standard for a girl my age. In fact most my age wear jeans as well but I don't. It's your life so wear what you like.

Some clothes don't look good on anyone who is overweight. I think you need to be thin to wear something that exposes your midriff or belly button. That may not be appropriate for school, but may be quite appropriate for wearing to the beach on a hot summer day.

Well, I think the first thing that any autistic person should consider for clothing is comfort and then personal attraction to certain clothing and then maybe, if they would like, fashion; however, fashion is fleeting and is subject constantly to change.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand: You said that you do not like goth clothes or edgy clothes. Do you like flowers? I always wear a flower clip in my hair, the same one, everyday. Sometimes I will wear several as I have a collection. I do, however, dress like a child. I am trying to dress a little bit sexier, which usually comes off as more stylish. Tomorrow, when I go on a date with this girl I met online, I will be wearing a pink cotton shirt that clings to my body and a skirt that has the skyline of Paris on it. My whole outfit is pink. However, my usual formula is leggings, usually colorful and always very very soft as I have very sensitive skin, with a skirt and with a soft t-shirt or a sweater or both. Sometimes I will wear a dress over the leggings. However, I am trying out new options, an attempt to diversify my formula by wearing a skirt with knee socks.

Perhaps, you can try wearing skirts with leggings or long dresses. Something that is still girly, but comfortable and flexible. I usually try to curl myself up in balls or move my knees near my chin when I am sitting and skirts with leggings allow me to do this even when I am in public.

However, I do have a trauma based habit of trying to cover up the womanliness of my body, so I may not be the best advice giver. Maybe get a colorful blazer. Most of all, make yourself comfortable and maybe include in your daily wear something you can wear everyday like a piece of jewelry or a hair ornament or a blazer or a bag or purse so that you can have familiar object with you wherever you go.
