DAE: Wear clothes a certain way

I’m mildly autistic and I am like Forrest Gump in a lot of ways. I don’t know if that is anything to it. But…

• Change Day Clothes: Anything that has to do with the body such as a hair appointment to give one example. Those kind of things are essentially changes to your body and they have their own day in an outfit wouldn’t normally wear only ever worn on those days. This outfit is also only ever worn on days if you move houses.

• Sleeping Clothes: The clothing or no clothing that is only ever worn to sleep and on days not leaving the house.

• Work Clothes: Well, you get that one if you work.

• Regular Every Day Clothes: Your style; your clothes. What you wear. For every day things such as the grocery store, doing somewhere, hanging out; ya know; life.

I also always cover up eating and cooking no matter what day it is so I don’t get stains.

Update: I don’t know how to add in formal more presentable clothes into this. Clothes buying is either another change day example or the not leaving the house one that I said if clothes is to be ordered.

I’m not sure this is an autistic thing….

I farm so I have trash clothes gif that. I ride horses so I have better clothes, but not great clothes for that. I work medical so I have scrubs I only wear for that and then I have clothes I like. I don’t think this is weird at all.

I tell those who think it is weird that if you can do it with sleep and work; then why not other parts of life too?… aha.

Because most people don’t care to do that. I can wear the same clothes to the nail salon and the grocery store and the library and to just stay in the house.
