@mamacita Good morning back to you. I dress for my comfort. Where I lived before, my wardrobe was a mix of what-to-wear-to-fit-in-kinda, and what I was comfortable in. Here, in this little town, I have been able to ditch for the most part, those clothes that were not all that comfortable, and be "me" more. right now my favorite over jacket is a sherpa fleece lined plaid men's jacket. It appeals to my comfort of feeling the soft fleece embrace me.

On my left wrist I wear a braided silver bracelet, 24/7. There is a small silver loop near the catch that can be manipulated. If you watch, you will find me often automatically going to the little loop, rotating it over-and-over, creating that sense of calm I need when anxious, a tangible relief. I used to wear a cuff bracelet and constantly run my fingers over the pattern. When I wear my medical alert bracelet, I can use features of that to stim and calm me. Each autie person has a favorite way to stay grounded, as it were. At times when it's required to not have the bracelet, I feel very anxious and nervous. Should it be allowed? Absolutely, for me.
