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?

    Interesting question. I have only recently realized I am probably autistic. I never found I was good at applying makeup. I used to wear a small amount to work as thought that's what women did until I worked with someone who didn't. It was such a relief when I realized I didn't need it. One less thing to think about. Pleased to hear I am not so unusual.
