Naturism (Non-sexual nudity)

Whilst I do have sensory issues with clothes. I have far greater sensory issues with not being clothed. I don't even like having bare feet let alone anything else. 

That’s one thing I can’t stand for too long as well - bare feet. 

I can't even deal with ankle socks because they leave a gap between your trousers and your socks and then you get a difference in temperature in the gap which really bothers me.

I don't particularly like wearing shorts either. Especially short ones because then I can my skin against my skin or the feel of the chair I'm sitting on. Don't enjoy that at all. I give in to them when it's really hot and then I can manage long shorts as it's warm enough that the temperature difference between covered and uncovered is tolerable.

shorts are for playing football in or swimming, I do neither,

That is a true autistic answer.

In reality shorts are just an article of clothing and can be worn wherever and whenever the wearer wants to so long as it does not breach and clothing codes.

To my knowledge there is no hard and fast rule that you need to wear shorts when swimming or playing football (I've seen players in leggings ans swimmers in onesies) so in that light it helps to challenge your own preconceptions.

No judgement, just observing.

It's a very rare occurrence for me but I give in occasionally on extremely hot days.

I often find the more layers I wear the less comfortable I am around the present company. It would be a sensory nightmare for me personally trying to sleep or walk about too long without socks on. For some reason I feel they protect my feet although in reality they do very little, but it’s a form of sensory armour!

I’ve been asked why I never wear shorts, even on the hottest of days. The answer is always,  “ shorts are for playing football in or swimming, I do neither, I don’t need to even own shorts.” The bare foot issue came up at my assessment, when I started infant school my parents had to buy those black slip-on plimsolls, the teacher had tried to make me do PE barefoot, she then whiteness a full meltdown. I still never go barefoot.

Agreed!!!
