Anyone have any insight on this kind of behavior? My very bright daughter who just turned 16 wears the same socks and bras numerous times. The bras aren't as troubling as the socks, but she will wear them and not be aware or care that they may smell. This is the third time I have found that there were no dirty socks in her hamper when there should've been a few pr. based on when I last did laundry.
She can't/won't tell me why she does this. I asked her if she was doing some kind of experiment. She has enough pairs of socks and most of them are the same so it shouldn't be because she has a favorite type. I told her the last time that she shouldn't do it and she agreed. Wednesday I found she had been wearing the same pr. for 3 days. She walks around on the floor so they are visibly dirty. She showers every day, (or least she turns on the shower). I talked to her for a while about this issue. This morning I asked her if she had clean socks on and she said she didn't know. This of course was a no and I made her change before going to school. She is a pretty obedient kid otherwise. I'm going to have her write something today when she gets home about listening, hygiene, etc., but would love some insight into this.
She takes medication for ADD and was noted to have symptoms of Aspergers.
