I know that as aspies we're not supposed to be into nice clothes because we don't like the texture. But does anyone else find themselves with a lack of appreciation for other "nice" things? I can't really explain very well, but ever since I was a kid, I've always been inscrutable. Nice things scare me. They cost too much, and they draw too much attention to themselves, or I feel like they don't have any personality. I feel uneasy when I'm in one of those spotless houses with huge flatscreen TVs and expensive, bright colored furniture. It's not that I'm anti-consumerism, it's just like I'd feel the possessions would be too good for me. 
Or it's a bunch of things. I love being in small houses with crap all over the walls and weird thrift shop stuff everywhere. I guess it's a useful trait to have when you don't make that much money!
