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.......
Am I right in understanding that this campaigns slogan is that "it is okay to be different".
If that is the case then wearing onesies is not being different, it is the latest craze being following by a vast majority of NT teenagers (especially). Much like wearing jeans that start at your knees with your underwear showing was the craze a few years ago.
Wearing onesies is just jumping onto an already existing fad.
From my childrens' perspective they find these outfits humiliating and would not be caught dead in one (however, they are boys so there maybe something in that).
I also think that it's OK for NT's to wear them because they have the support of each other (the group mentality). ASC teenagers would get teased, I think because they don't have that support structure in place and prefer to be individuals.
Nevertheless I will be giving to the cause. Just hope the fund raisers look happy and don't appear embarassed, which would not do this cause any good at all.
I'll go dust of my leotard now
