As someone who spent most of her childhood in gifted programs, I found L to be pretty accurate. >.< A lot of the kids had very strong feelings about what kinds of fabric could touch them, and where.

There was a boy in my fourth grade class who used to cut the collars off his shirts, Flashdance-style. The effect was completely bizarre. At first it seemed like a failed fashion statement, but it turned out he just couldn't stand things touching his neck.

In high school my best friend and hotel roommate for field trips refused to wear undergarments of any kind. She also couldn't sleep unless she was naked. To our mutual relief, she was not a restless sleeper and the sheets did not tend to come off in the night.

As for shoes and socks, I'm completely with L. In first grade I used to quietly slip my feet out of my shoes under my desk. I didn't understand how the other kids could wear their shoes all day without going crazy. I like the idea of socks, especially if they are brightly colored, but I consistently fail to wear them for any length of time. Fortunately, if you're a gifted child, many adults will give you leeway to cultivate bizarre personal habits as you please.

Anyway, I'm rambling. It's fascinating that you had such a strong negative reaction to this character. I'd like to believe that there are more layers to this than are apparent in your secret and I'm not convinced that a lack of socks is really at the bottom of it all. Should you ever happen to read this and feel like elaborating, I'd love to hear more.

ALSO! L (and his successors) show many signs of autism, which explains a lot of his behavior and appearance.

And a lot of people are like that regardless of intelligence. Tons of people will make a little slit in the collars of their shirts or cut off the tags because it drives them nuts. Pretty much everyone I've ever met has at least one major quirk involving clothing and personal comfort.
