Adult DD not bothered about her appearance

My DD is 25 ADHD possibly ASD, not diagnosed. She literally couldn’t care less about her appearance. She washes her hair, does brush it then leaves it to dry and goes out (sometimes its damp). She throws on some combat trousers, top and grabs a big hoodie. Make up is a no no. As she’s doing a uni course it’s fine most likely but if she got a job I’d worry in case you got bullied. She’s great, but different and I know people can be hard with this.
Has anyone gone through/going through this?

My DD is also 25 with ASD. I don't mind too much what she wears as long as she is clean. I have to remind her a lot on this.
A lot of workplaces are pretty relaxed on clothing nowadays, so I wouldn't worry as long as her hygiene is fine. Maybe just focus on the hair brushing? But I wouldn't make too big a deal as it's often counterproductive in my experience!

As long as DD is clean, I wouldn’t worry. I definitely wouldn’t worry about not wearing makeup.
