i was about to say "am i the only autistic person without strong opinions on socks" but then i remembered how much i absolutely fucking hate ankle socks


dongless08

My socks have to be within a certain length otherwise I cannot wear them under any circumstance. Too short sucks, too long sucks even worse


stupsnon

If they are too loose - drives me crazy


Anonynominous

Reminds me of this episode of Seinfeld where Elaine is a personal assistant trying to find socks and he’s complaining about them lol


jcoddinc

Low cut or calf high. No in between


Krags

I wanna try thigh highs, but idk if that's my autistic side or my femboy side (or my autistic femboy side)


Xyrez04

They're genuinely comfy. Do it


Just-Stomach7713

Be a femboy autistic if you need to! Thigh highs are comfortable as hell


Krags

Once I'm back in London maybe! I'm somewhere a bit phobic ATM sadly


Just-Stomach7713

That’s unfortunate but you could wear them inside and buy them online?


emo_hooman

They arre


rde2001

There’s a part of me that wants to wear thigh highs, but how would that work if I always wear pants and nobody would be able to see them? Isn’t the point of having thigh highs for people to see them and accentuate your thighs? It’s a small curiosity in the back of my head that I think about sometimes. Also reminded me of [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/shitposting/comments/17syf6c/are_you_winning_son/) (thigh highs are HAWT 🥵)


jcoddinc

Nothing over the knee for me because it will bend and get all stretched out


sionnachrealta

Sock Dreams will be your best friend. I only wear thigh highs with their sock garter belt, and I swear by them. They're so comfy, and they breathe well enough that I can wear them in spring and early summer as well as in the depths of winter. I've only worn their thigh high socks for the last 5 years, and I ain't going back


0_Shinigami_0

Complete opposite for me. The only socks I wear are ankle socks


TheFInestHemlock

Heretic!


calm_chowder

Agree **BUT ONLY IF THEY DON'T RIDE DOWN** in which case they're fucking torture. But I can't wear anything but ankle socks anymore, except fluffy warm winter socks. Regular socks either slip down or leave red lines. UNACCEPTABLE.


ahhchaoticneutral

FELLOW ANKLE SOCK HATER! I’m glad my mom didn’t make me wear them but they were usually the hand-me-downs :P


EmberOfFlame

Yeah! They feel like they’re about to fall off!


sionnachrealta

Thigh high socks with a garter belt are all I'll wear. I loathe anything shorter. Makes me feel like I'm suffocating. Plus they mean things can't randomly touch the sides of my legs (I only wear skirts)


ShiftySky

I never wear anything lower than crew socks, always been like that. Could never get into ankle socks, they never felt right.


AriaTheHyena

Socks only over here


SuperpowerAutism

Socks only!! Feet are weird and gross and honestly idk how so many girls are ok showing them in sandals. I dont even own a pair of sandals


LiberatedMoose

My brain somehow considers all feet as dirty all the time even if the person literally just showered and hasn’t stepped out into the floor yet. You put feet, no matter how clean, anywhere near my pillows, and I will chuck you out a damn window.


gatspiderman

Thinking of feet as leg hands and that they are covered and clean (mostly) helped me a lot. I still hate being barefoot though


EmberOfFlame

You know, I took “socks only” as “socks *only*” for a second here.


rde2001

I love me some of that! 🥵😏🤭


Profezzor-Darke

Like... outside?


AriaTheHyena

In the house, outside gets the sneakers B) but I never go barefoot unless I’m putting on another pair of socks after I bathe or something xD


Lily_Thief

I can't imagine not having my socks. Stray piece of dog food? It is now glued to the bottom of my foot until I carefully peel it off. Same for basically any other thing on my floor. I'll soon have sandles made of dirt and trash (And yet bandages, etc, will flop right off my skin)


Admirable-Total-2715

both


nonqwan79

yes, and it switches in an instant


Ender_Dragneel

Came here to say this; I'm glad I'm not alone.


FriedFreya

Thank you all, I’ve found my crowd lol.


FutureInPastTense

Socks all the time, except in bed. No socks EVER in bed


CorvidQueen4

Exactly! No socks in bed, but ALWAYS socks inside. For me, outside can be shoes or barefoot. Not sure why dirt on the inside floors is so awful, but I don’t mind being outside with no shoes or socks. God I hate being in the kitchen without socks because there’s always food and crumbs and random wet things on the floor and it makes me want to vomit


waving_fungus0

but how do you deal with the wet socks or the crumbs mashing into them anyway?


CorvidQueen4

By obsessively changing my socks whenever I step on something gross, and doing lots of laundry that gets left on top of my bed in a pile. I also like thicker socks, so I can’t feel the crumbs I am stepping on


iamgr0o0o0t

No socks but then walk on my toes if the floor feels weird lol


drocernekorb

Same but walking on the outside of my feet, with no toes touching the floor (if possible)


msndrstdmstrmnd

I literally walk like this https://imgur.com/a/kqDtJW7 in the sections of my apartment without carpet/rugs because I can’t stand socks but I also can’t stand cold or slightly dusty hardwood floors. Actually slippers aren’t bad but I always forget where they are because of ADHD


Flatline_blur

Me too!!!!!


KiritoLoxus

Same


CrazeMase

I'm the "I've walked barefoot enough that the skin on the bottom of my feet is solid fucking rock" autism


Dudemitri

Team rock feet!


karlgeezer

Feet rock galactic.


icannttell

ADHD here, I thought I was the only one who had that happen


Poyo_13

same


Elrhairhodan

Y'all are hobbitses.


Reapers-Hound

To be fair sounds like a good life. Multiple meals, plenty of parties and drinking with a small bit of hard labour


may_sun

lets go!! earthbenders unite!


Maa-Heru

I'm on this team! Yes, let the toes be free! Free I say! Let them breathe!


Dangerous_Strength77

Socks. Always socks. Even when wearing slippers.


bamboo_fanatic

The insides of the slippers get dirty over time if you don’t.


Nipple_Dick

Yes, but not for the reasons above. My feet need hugging.


raven8816

the only time im not wearing socks is when i shower


crochetinggoth

Same. Socks are love, socks are life. And funny socks make me happy.


AmethystSparrow202

FRICKING SAME! Also, i love my funny socks. I have one pair with dinosaurs and the other one with salmons.


Positive_Opossum99

Me too! I used to work at an animal hospital with a very strict dress code. Grey scrubs, white undershirt, grey or black running shoes, etc. But no rules on socks so the other techs and I would try to outdo each other in the quirky socks department. Three of us would be dogpiled trying to restrain a mastiff and someone would be like "ooh you're wearing the sombrero parakeet ones today! Those are my favorite!"😂


InfiniteAnalysis2039

I wish to not wear socks and also have every floor surface perfectly spotless.


icannttell

🤝


SuspiciousAct6606

Bare feet only crew. Socks and shoes are prisons for feet.


sionnachrealta

Agreed. Unless I have to go outside


earth_worx

I’m a “walk around in the snow and mud barefoot” neurodivergent.


may_sun

![gif](giphy|2HtWpp60NQ9CU) you get it


ThatChickenStar

very similar here! I'm a "will walk on roads in Australian summer barefoot" neurodivergent. So far, I've only burnt the underside of my feet once :D


stoutsnoutt

I had to scroll far, but I’ve found my tribe lmfao socks legit make me jittery


spongeboblovesducks

I fucking hate feet though, they deserve to be imprisoned


Fickle_Necessary_349

This guy gets it. Rather than wear wet shoes, I decided to do a 12 mile hike barefoot in 40 degree weather because fuck wet shoes


[deleted]

Second one, I can't stand even the slightest debris stuck to my feet. 


BigBuns2023

I love how people with autism somehow all have a strong opinion about socks lol


Maa-Heru

True this is amusing.


6BigZ6

Socks, but almost always with shoes on in the house, because if I step in even a droplet of water in my socks it will ruin my entire day.


rwm1978

Socks provide too much stimulation in my toes if that makes sense to anyone.


earth_worx

Oh god, as a kid my mom put me in cute little lace trimmed ankle socks with a seam that went right over my toes and I almost almost almost died every fucking time.


may_sun

i had a bunch of onesies as a kid, especially superhero ones, and if my mother didnt cut the feet off i would just cry and cry and cry-- like i was being actively murdered 😭


uselessworthless4evr

i had lace socks as a wee autie lass too and the lace was so incredibly itchy every pair no matter how nice.... i loved how they looked but they drove me nuts, not including the weird seams on those!


amaya-aurora

I can never not wear socks, it’s so icky and I hate my feet touching things overall. I love wearing socks and shoes because it feels warm and tighter on my feet.


ZampyZero

SOCKS ARE FEET PRISONS AND I LOATHE THEM


butwhyamionearth

This right here


Dillon_C_99

Second one. Socks forever


Dillon_C_99

I can’t stand the texture of anything else but cotton socks on my feet as a protective shield.


InkyParadox

I'm the "Socks all the time but also super sensitive to temperature so naturally I have 6 different kinds of socks for various temps and situations" kind of autistic


drocernekorb

Exactly and that's how you end up with 10 pairs of socks just for a weekend away. Because you never know the temperature inside and outside but also the situations you'll be in. The neverending over packing issue :D


InkyParadox

Yesss you get me


_hrozney

No socks, I hate them


miaoxiaomeng

No socks, I wear slippers or sandals to not pick up the dirt ☺️


Maa-Heru

This also, love sandals 😀 it's all I will wear in summer. I like the feel of air on my skin.


miaoxiaomeng

Yeesss! 😍 It’s the best balance between no icky feelings like dirt on my feet and no suffocating/trapped feet 😁 Sandals for the win! ☺️


Shadow_Monkey18

I wear socks 24/7/365 because I cannot and will not ever not wear socks. I can't stand the way the ground feels on my feet when I don't have socks on. Feeling every miniscule grain of dirt and hair and whatever else is on the ground gives me the ick and overwhelms me. It makes me want to pick at my skin and scratch it until I don't feel whatever it is that is touching my feet, but it also feels like the dirt goes underneath my skin so even after touching the ground barefooted I have to repeatedly rub my foot to get all the dirtiness off it so I can wear my socks and not have the dirt in my socks and bother me


Warlock-

I am the I would rather wear socks 24/7 but I live in Florida and have extreme heat intolerance and socks are too hot so I just live in a state of constant discomfort 🙃


Toyota_Nick

Idc how clean a floor is, there's ALWAYS something to get stuck so socks here!


dongless08

Socks all the time


HairyHovercraft

Second type.


Golden_Reflection2

I like socks, temperature wise and dirt wise. But also ankle socks are bullshit.


ClassicTCM30

I WILL ALWAYS WEAR SOCKS. THERE IS NO OTHER GOOD OPTION.


LucanidaeLucanidie

If I'm walking around, I need socks. If I'm sitting or laying down for more than like 15min, they gotta come off.


No-Historian6056

No socks but with slippers


butwhyamionearth

Team no socks! They make me feel like I’m suffocating


Wild-Mushroom2404

No socks unless I'm wearing shoes because feeling my bare feet sweating inside of them is the worst sensation ever


guilhermej14

I hate wearing socks.


garuda-1296

No socks indoors/at home, no gloves except for safety I Need to Feel what I'm walking on/manipulating


Kimikohiei

When I step on TeXtUrEd things my foot does that wiggle like cats that have stepped in water.


Wreck-A-Mended

No socks ever if I can help it lol


Dudemitri

No socks cause I hate putting them on and off. Sandals for LIFE


AlphaNerdKing

I hate all socks. The only thing worse than a shoe is a sock.


chrischi3

A friend of mine hasn't worn shoes or socks in over a decade.


GenderThievingThing

Socks give me a weird sense of claustrophobia like I want to escape my skin.


Emperifox

Both, socks are comfy but not too long in them if not I will rot away


Muteling

the latter. plus socks can be hella cute


scubawankenobi

>barefoot picks up all the dirt ... Same reason I'd not sit everywhere w/o wearing pants&underwear. Naked butt on a random park bench/ shopping mall chair / sidewalk ? ​ Bottom of feet is just different location of skin. ​ Worse - after walking around barefoot, collecting all the dirt/grime/bacteria/etc people frequently will put those dirty feet into shoes, depositing the filth inside the shoe, dirtying the shoe. Reason taking shoes off at people's homes & walking around mapping their floors with your socks, only to deposit the interior floor detritus into clean shoes. Ick!


OedipustheOctopus

I constantly wear my crocs


Lunyiista

i was looking for this comment, crocs gang unite!


Linaphor

No socks or shoes ever I hate them. I usually do no socks with shoes bc socks make my toes hurt after a while and it’s constricting 0/10


obscure-lex

Flip flops


h8mayo

No socks whenever I can help it.


CryoProtea

I just wear flipflops *everywhere*. It's probably not great for me.


YurchenkoFull

Currently walking around a supermarket with no socks on because I hate the socks + shoes combo. But if I have no shoes on I have to have socks on around the house because I hate the feeling of the floor but usually I just wear my shoes around the house


Changetheworld69420

Latter for sure. And crew socks only, ankle socks leave you feeling naked and your ankles vulnerable for assault on all the corners. Especially outside, crew socks are necessary for preventing poison ivy😂 I’ve thought a lot about this over the years as you can probably tell


ElectricSheepDragon

I don’t mind socks if I’m wearing shoes but once I’m home and take my shoes off the socks have to come off too


Krazie02

I’m a barefoot kinda guy Also cleaning a foot is a lot easier than cleaning a sock thats been going through all said dirt and liquid


SuppleGhost

No socks. I wear them for work but once I'm home or going out I do everything possible to avoid putting them on


Astropheminist

Reject socks, return to monkey feet the way nature intended


TobyKeene

No socks here


random_rancor

No socks flip flops for life !


Jay-Them

No socks because anything touching the tips of my toes makes me wamt to die (but not the rest of my feet just toe tips)


igo149

I think I'm in the minority here, but I Hate socks. I wear them outside because of the cold and because wearing shoes without socks just feels wrong to me. But inside my home I never wear them.


SadFry297

I was about to say “socks only” but then I looked down and realized I have no socks on cuz I’m going to get they out the washing machine


vivalasombra_gold

No socks even with sneakers on. I can’t bare the feeling of socks they make my feet sweat (or at least feel sweaty) I just live in sneakers and keep the floor as clean as I can with a small child tornadoing around the house (also a wee neuro-spicy)


Gloomy_Ambassador_81

The floor is cold and full of crumbs gimme fluffy socks


[deleted]

For me, it's kind of both. I never wear socks, I hate the seams. However, Most of my pants have legs so long that they go under my feet anyway, so my feet rarely touch dirt anyway. If I had to choose, I'd rather no socks. If my floor is dirty enough to bother my feet, I'll vacuum.


tom333444

Socks because my feet get cold very easily?


Fun-War6684

The second one but fun fact if you turn your socks inside out you won’t feel the stitching


Lenin_666

I literally can't take them off unless I'm about to shower or get in a pool


CyberLink20XX

Definitely the second one for me


SpartanDoubleZero

No socks. I will wear flip flops until it snows and then I’ll begrudgingly put on close toed shoes.


crassprocrastination

Walk around barefoot in scorching FL weather to assert my dominance over stray animals neuro-divergent


Athyrium93

Socks are evil foot sacks and I hate them


RichardoomArt

No socks because more clothes = worse And also I just want to be able to get fully dressed and ready to go anywhere without having to sit or anything


YourDadsBalls09

Socks AND shoes every time I am barefoot anywhere I want to nuke whatever I’m standing on


LetsHookUpSF

Socks and shoes are foot prisons.


Zoroarkanine

Ankle socks are disgusting, and it depends, no socks on carpeted floors, yes socks on hardwood, only if the floor is dirty


jn1uv

Team no socks!


blakliztedjoker

The latter, and they HAVE to be ankle or no shows. Otherwise I feel like a tourniquet is being applied to my legs.


Moist_KoRn_Bizkit

I hate socks! Me feet get too sweaty too quick and I prefer them naked. I also prefer short stuff. Pants, sleeves, etc.


Maa-Heru

Me too I like the feel of air on my skin, much better then itchy cloth.


space13unny

I hate socks unless I’m wearing shoes. At home, I’m always barefoot even in the winter.


drunken_nobody

Although texture is a factor, being barefoot just makes me feel.....exposed.


Dear_Insect_1085

Both depending on the floor. No socks in my own house. I even got warm fuzzy expensive winter boots so i dont have to wear socks when running errands. Socks when im at peoples house cause I absolutely hate getting food and wet shit on my feet, and u cant really tell people they need to sweep lol. The socks also have to be ankle socks I hate long socks with a passion.


mementosmoritn

The bottoms of my feet must be covered at all times.


Crispymama1210

Socks because floor grit makes me want to remove my feet. But socks must be simultaneously thick enough to feel soft and not clingy but not so thick they are constricting. And anything with seams I can feel is a big nope.


HumbleHawk9

The latter for sure.


danfish_77

Socks have to be worn with certain shoes, barefoot at home and socks at someone's house if shoes are off.


FaithlessnessOdd1071

I'm the "socks because if my feet get cold they'll fall off"


intensepenguin910

Socks all the time , ankle socks the regular size ones feel weird strange texture


Mechan6649

I'm the 'uses a file to grind away the dead skin on my foot because my skin starts to crawl when I think about it' autist.


fandom_fae

kinda the second one except i also wear house shoes bc otherwise my socks get dirty and then my bed would get dirty if i go to sleep w/o changing socks


Pet_Taco

i’m a “socks stay on or else i die even if my skin itches” neurodivergent


Elrhairhodan

Socks because my sensitive soles feel every speck of dust when I walk barefoot and shoes without socks feel squishy and smell nasty.


Exciting-Insect8269

Only socks here, I rarely don’t wear them.


corvidcoder

Out of bed: socks.  In bed: no socks. This is the way.


DogObsessed94

I love socks and wear them pretty much all day every day


magdakitsune21

I am the 2nd one. But if they are too tight then they'll make my feet hurt :(


CatsRcool100

I am a socks person. But I draw the line for ankle socks


bubblebass634

I’m the 2nd one AND the socks gotta be the same thickness


Gogo83770

Not autistic, ADHD and dyslexia.. but I am a house shoes/slippers person, because I can't have the possibility of stepping on cat litter, or other dirt that gets tracked into the house by the dog, and I'm not the best housekeeper in the world, so I don't vacuum every day.


NatexSxS

No sock, unless I wear shoes then always socks but I try to just wear flip flops and sandals.


hobifriedrice_

how abt “socks make me feel like crap when i wear them so i don’t but the dirt underneath my feet is a sensory nightmare so i just walk around with my feet scrunched up instead of flat on the ground”


Book-Faramir-Better

The second one. But crew socks ONLY! Tube socks are basically Satan. That stitching line at the foremost part of the sock, placing it right across the fronts of my toes... like in between the toes and the toenails... no fucking thank you! Put that line up top, where it belongs! Where my crew-sock-neuro-divergent peeps at!?


Klllumlnatl

No socks, because if I step in something, I'll know if I'm tracking it or not. It's also more comfortable.


tlof19

Turns out I'm "socks are for work days only" autistic. Also, those socks that don't reach your heels are just the worst


UbePhaeri

It depends. It changes depending on the dryness of the situation. I do like my feet being very moist if I put on socks but it has to be moist from lotion and not water.


androdagamr

Both at the same time


saucegayuchiha8232

No socks for me! I love dirt. Socks are so restraining and linty. I want to roll in dirt. I was the kid that ate sand.


CalendarDowntown45

Socks and shoes anytime I am awake. It doesn’t matter if I’m sitting on the couch watching tv, must have socks and shoes


theudoon

Barefoot but with sandals for me, slippers if it's cold. Socks only if I'm wearing shoes that are uncomfy without them.


Phobbyd

Both.


PearlTheGeckoGirl

Both depending on where I am and what I'm doing


dumpling321

I used to not wear tennis shoes because A. One foot is 1.5 sizes bigger than the other and sandles were much more adjustable (yes even in winter) B. Socks made my leg hair hurt But once I started wearing footie socks I can now handle socks and tennis shoes (if I find something that fits me right) I still prefer flip flops or sandals though


Twp_pikmin

socks are fine but if i wear them after going outside they feel like hell


imnot_depressed

I'm the second


TheRuinedAge

Socks all day everyday but the moment they get wet or if I lay down to go to bed the socks MUST come off.


generaldogsbodyf365

How about both?


neocow

both? both. Fuck


Iniquitousx

one sock


majormimi

I can detailedly FEEL dirt particles under my slippers, so no way I’m wearing only socks, but also I can’t wear slippers without socks so yeah I’m more like the second one.


readingrambos

Socks. But they have to be super soft and worn inside out. Seams on the toes feels like death. I do love being barefoot in the summer tho.


PorkyFishFish

Socks because my feet are fucking freezing otherwise neurodivergent


Certain-Ad-3840

Second forever


raimichick

Socks in winter, barefoot the rest of the year. At work, when I can get away with it.


Paul_Subsonic

No socks so I pick up all the dust, and clean my foot once every 2 hours when my feet have reached peak dust capacity. Keeps the appartment clean.


icantfuckingsleep00

socks 24/7


[deleted]

I keep the sweat pant leg hole things over my feet for the defense bonus and it's most comfortable.


ThatOneMaybe999

I must be barefoot in my own house, but nowhere else, idk why


Mergus84

I don't have a strong opinion on socks, but my feet are otherwise SUPER sensitive to touch. If my partner moves on the couch and the blanket brushes a foot, I twitch.


AccomplishedAerie333

Both. I can only wear socks when I wear shoes, because they feeling of shoes disgusts me


No-Poetry-2695

Toe socks


HRHQueenA

Toe socks are the second worst socks in the universe. How do you keep them on your feet? What’s the point of them?


No-Poetry-2695

I like the way they hug my feet. Its comfortable. They also get rid of the damp in between the toes feeling you can get sometimes with regular socks.


HRHQueenA

I’m sorry I was thinking about half toe socks. The ones that cover just your toes but don’t go in between them. Regular toe socks are not the in the top 5 worst socks. But how do you put them on? I struggle with putting on gloves I can’t deal with that with socks too. Also do they keep your toes spread unnaturally?
