There's a thought. I don't know what to do with makeup, nor how to "do" my hair, and most of my clothing is chosen for comfort rather than form. Women's clothing, frankly, looks ridiculous most of the time. At least to me.
Might that be a shared aspie female trait?
I think it could be. The four other aspie girls I've met in my life all felt the same way about makeup (disliking makeup I mean), for one of them it was partly because of sensitivity; it felt awful on her skin.
For me, it feels like putting a mask over your natural face, and I don't like that. I like being me. And I often don't see the point of wearing a cake of foundation when your face underneath looks almost the same as with the foundation on. That's what I really don't get. Occasionally I do wear mascara, or coloured eyeshadow/lip gloss if I'm going out somewhere or it's a special occasion or if I just really feel like it. That stuff I don't mind because it's more like decorating your face than masking your face. It's foundation, blush, etc I really don't like.
