Do autistic women wear makeup?

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'd say in my opinion (I'm male), I see less ASD women wear it. I don't wear aftershave because I find strong smells uncomfortable, I can wear one aftershave at a push. Another reason is because it feels dishonest, lol. It seems pointless. If I was a woman I probably wouldn't wear it because it would feel intrusive and again pointless. No offence intended to the women that do.
