Do people with aspergers have a certain dress sense?

I at first assumed MG was taking about real yachts, too. It's less excusable coming from me, as a fellow modeller.

I love travelling by sea and have never once been seasick. The cost is the only thing I dislike

I've gotten mildly-to-moderately seasick on cruises before.

The last time I went out by boat was incredible. I happened to be with by youngest brother who was somewhere around 8 to 12 years old. We called in at Conwy and saw a boat with a two oor three people in it. They were looking for more people to make the trip viable. It was £3.50 for me and I think a pound for my brother. Not knowing where it was going I thought "For that price it is not going to be that far"... Well, we went out with the converted fishing boat chugging away... and it kept going and going. We could see the Great Orme and area on the other side as we went close to the other side of the estuary... Then he went out into the main bit of sea, and turned round and came back. It must have taken well over an hour? We went much further then I expected us to go. It was great! We were a bit concerned though as the level floor of the boat was a bit higher then the bottom of the craft, and through gaps in the floor we could see a few inches of water sloshing about. I am not sure if it was meant to be there or not. My brother and I thought it added to the thrill! Haha! Well. We didn't know either way if water is meant to be inside a boat or not!

While it's not a dead giveaway, I've noticed aspies tend to trend more towards clothes which are picked more for comfort than for external appearance. There was actually one guy I worked with who had a lot of 'tells', and one of them was that he had an entire (workplace) wardrobe which looked like business casual to a quick glance, but which closer up revealed itself to be all very soft, comfortable materials. And it was almost all in monochromatic shades of grey or black. I actually really liked it as a personal style.

This isn't to say that all aspies dress the same way. But dressing for internal tactile sensation rather than the social impression on other people does seem to be more common.
