Do autistic women wear makeup?

Song

I would have started a poll but I can't see how to do that.

My daughter has just asked why I don't wear any make up, 

It's uncomfortable, makes my face itch, makes me look very odd and I can't do it myself and look like anything other than a clown but my husband says it's because I'm autistic, what do you think?

    I do I like to mask myself to blend in with other women, I would t dream of leaving the house without make up, I can look in the mirror and feel ugly and think people would stare at me, so I wear it to blend in, however I do only wear a very light foundation as I do not like the cakey feeling in my skin, there is lots of breatheable makeup available, a bit of blush feels weightless an helps me feel more confident to face the day.
