I’ve always been curious, because I’m not fond of underwear, but I don’t know how people make it work. Wouldn’t you have to wash the trousers every single day? How else would you keep them fresh? Do you use special deodorant for the area or panty liners on the trousers?

Tell your story.

    As someone who has taught an impatient child (what’s the opposite of an oxymoron?) how to tie a shoe, I can tell you there are many different ways to tie a shoe, and apparently there is a way that’s easier for autistic kids (I thought that might be easier) but I was having trouble with it as an adult. So…

    ELI5 how do neurotypical adults autistie their shoes?

      As an impatient adult my solution is to wear shoes without laces. I have a pair of boots that use laces, and a pair of sneakers with laces that I never wear. Everything else is slip on or zip up. I’d wear velcro, too, I don’t even care if it looks ridiculous (only I’ve never had that option as an adult)

        You just made me think about my current shoe collection. I have 2 pairs of flip flops, 1 pair of slip on house shoes, 4 pairs of slip on walking/tennis shoe looking shoes (dunno what to call them) and 2 actual tennis shoes with laces and 2 dress shoes with laces.

        When I run, I wear the laces. Anywhere else I’m laceless. Haven’t worn business attire since covid began.

      I do loop swoop and pull but I’m not 100% neurotypical. I did learn as an adult that swooping over instead of under makes your laces much less likely to come undone and since then haven’t ever double knotted my laces.
