I wear them all the time, control the hair and always make me feel better. I think some people are hat people and some are not, never thought of it as aspie thing. But of course, like with many inanimate objects, my hats help me feel ok. In the winter I got them all over the house, they are all black kind of the cover log braids variety. I like hoods too, anything to cover me up and control the wild hair. My hair has like a life of its own, wild curls that do what they want. If I try to control them they fight harder for freedom. Hats don't even affect them, bounce right back 5 min later. I have the perfect hair for dreads but I couldn't stand the pulling. I can't wear hats for too long either without it making my hair hurt.
