Quote: Neurodivergent screening tests will be like âdo you struggle with wearing socksâ and ND people will be like ânope does not describe me, for you see I have a Systemâ and folks that is what the question is getting at
It took me so long to recognize. I hate the âDo you lose your keys oftenâ question.
I always used to answer âNoâ because I know theyâre either next to the door where theyre supposed to be, in my current pocket or in yesterdayâs pantsâ pocket.
Or on my desk.
Or in my backpack.
Ok, maybe you have a point.
And is the question really about ability to recall where they are or tendency to leave them in unusual places?
Like is it ânormalâ to be able to remember where any random object left in a random location is when itâs needed? Or is it normal to leave objects in more sensible locations so they are easier to find when one canât recall directly where they were left?
Whatâs with the socks? I canât NOT wear socks. Except in the shower or while swimming, otherwise I am fully socked up.
Ok. Got it. Nevermind.
Iâm the exact opposite, fuck socks I only wear them to formal occasions like weddings and funerals, soft foot prisons
I used to be pretty sock neutral until a year ago. You know how when you put a pair of socks on for the first time and theyâre soft as heck and amazing, but eventually get rougher as time goes on? I decided to splurge and buy a 3-pair pack that cost as much as the 6-pair packs Iâd usually get. Not only were they ridiculously comfy the first time I wore them, they were still great the second, third, and fourth time. I went back and bought more of them. A year later I still get excited when I grab a couple and put them on because my feet feel so great in those socks.
Glad youâve found a fix! Even super nice socks feel gross to me, although I will concede the first time putting them on is nice in that moment. Everything after that is the same though, at least to me, feel the same way about undershirts and sleeves. Winter can be rough for me
At some point, i started putting on my shoes like this. Sock - shoe, sock - shoe. Is that weird?
This suggests that you wear shoes indoors as you would normally put your socks on by your bed. To many, including myself, wearing shoes in a house is weird. And kinda gross.
Where does your assumption come from that they put their socks on by their bed? Sounds more likely to me that they donât wear socks at home and put them on where their shoes are
My sock drawer is next to my bed so I too made that assumption until you mentioned it. But you canât keep them near the door as thatâs still messy so the shoes indoors thing still applies right?
Anyone else, instead of doing an inventory that youâve properly dressed yourself, just do a count of pieces of clothing to do the confirmation?
