Why do autistic people love wearing shorts so much?

[DoNotFeedTheSneed]

along with sonic the hedgehog and trains, I've noticed that only wearing shorts is a prolific autism stereotype. Why is that?

 

[DumbDude43]

lack of self awareness
inability to perceive how shit they look

Tactile defensiveness. Hypersensitivity to certain fabrics favor shorts because they are loose fitting and are not in contact with much skin.

Because they're comfy and easy to wear.

 

[Idiotron]

Do they?
I'm an autist and I hate wearing shorts.

This. Stop over thinking it. As long as you look sane and are wearing comfortable clothes, why the fuck would you overdress unless it's a special occasion (a job interview, a funeral/wedding/other specual church function)? Normalfags are so fucking insane it's a bit unreal having to explain common sense things to them.

Dressing in good looking clothes/outfits != overdressing

White people love shorts, OP.

 

[Chin of Campbell]

Enjoy being uncomfortable so NPCs will think more of you. I am comfort incarnate.

Why do people in general love wearing shorts? I will never understand

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Do they? In my experience I see lots of normalfags wearing shorts.

Autism is like trannsism in a way, that being the more its discussed and made to seem to be an option for shallow people to use for attention or as an excuse to be anti social / whatever the more the real people suffering from it are drowned out by a horde of trend chasing posers and boring fashion victims.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

While the solution was found (it's close but doesn't explain why). The real reason is because autistic people suffer from heat intolerance (technically temperature intolerance). So wearing certain clothing is more comfortable for them so they're not too cold or not too hot.

If they don't hire me after I wear shorts and a t-shirt to the job interview, they don't deserve my services.

 

[The Backwards Man]

Because it's nice to feel a breeze on your legs on a summer day.

 

[Soup Sammiches]

Sorry but us tards are known for wearing our pants or shorts on our head. Location is important.

 

[Rozzy]

I prefer to wear my kigu around the house and sometimes outdoors, very comfy.

I’m with @Rozzy on this one, Kigu’s are comfortable as shit, sure you get some weird looks in Wal-Mart, but I mean……it’s Wal-Mart.

 

[Higgs Bonbon]

They're comfy and easy to wear.

 

[PipTheAlchemist]

Because they're uncomfortable and difficult to wear
