Autism has made us into some pretty creative and resourceful people. Mason currently loathes pants but will happily wear shorts. The only issue with him refusing to wear pants is when it’s 30 degrees outside and you can already feel the judgmental stares from little old ladies at the grocery store before you’ve even left the house. 🙄 We’ve tried different approaches, different types of pants, even tried forcing them on him to see if he’d realize they really aren’t that bad once they’re on. No luck.

So here we are…two months into this anti-pants phase and it’s 18 degrees outside. Our two options are 1) don’t leave the house until spring or 2) get creative. Based on this photo, you can tell which option we chose. Knee high socks it is! We’re hoping he’ll get used to feeling fabric on his legs again and eventually get over this phase. One thing’s for sure, Mason always keeps us on our toes. #masonandme #autismacceptance #chillyknees
