onesie wednesday 2nd April coming

longman

Now forgive me being a bit of a misery and cynic, but can someone please elucidate "onesie Wednesday" - maybe a NAS Moderator, as this is a NAS instigated fund raising event.

For one thing the idea that anyone wore attire like this was a revelation for me. Is this more American....or maybe a London thing.....?

But I wonder too what some spectrum folks think of rattling buckets in a crowded street wearing one piece pyjamas in a weird design.......

    Yes they caught on in 2013 with the young fashion set wearing them out of doors, but it caused a lot of controversy.

    My reservation might be, how many people might feel reluctant to take part because they don't want to be seen in a onesie?

    And is a onesie saying the right things about autism difference?

    If you feel strongly enough about the project, you can surely defend it a bit more constructively......

    When I first read about the event a couple of weeks ago my immediate thought was of concern over being associated with the wearing of onesies in public.  They are not something that I am a fan of.  Yes, it's important to make the point that it's OK to be different, but I really don't think that the ways in which I am "different" are very well represented by wearing onesies.  That said, freedom of expression is a fundamental right and I don't have to take part so I'm not too bothered either way.  At least it should raise the NAS some funds.
