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 wouldn’t leave the house without wearing my make up, it gives me confidence, helps me fit in with others, and I feel good about myself, I watch YouTube videoed how to do it, i suppose some would say it’s like hiding behind a mask, but it’s a well known fact women are better than men at hiding our needs so I suppose it’s true to some extent, for me not many people know I have Autism and I like to keep it that way or else I feel I would be treated differently.
