    So I’m a little lost. Are those supposed to be empty wrappers or containers of something?

    Anything specific, or just vague plastic aluminum-y things? I’m just so confused here. I get the sensory part, but based on the reactions here is gotta be something more specific.

    Edit-

    10 seconds later I realized those are clothes tags. They looked like little tubes of some kinda product. Like an ointment maybe.

      It’s interesting to me that people like you exist (even though I’m assuming you’re in the vast majority). It’s like how it sounds made up to me that there are these supposed “extroverts” that gain energy from talking to people.

    There’s no way this is an autistic only trait right? You’re telling me people just go around dealing with those things?

      It’s kinda concerning how people often are taking normal reactions/behaviors and labeling them as autistic or ADHD.

        Coughing can’t possibly be a symptom of any illness because I sometimes cough without being sick.

          I’m not saying it’s never the case I’m just saying people need to stop self diagnosing themselves and others.

        There is an issue in autistic individuals with textures. And it’s an issue you can’t really understand if you don’t suffer it. Yeah, I dress by texture rather than fashion. And those tags are hellish to me and many other autistic people in ways that only them understand.

        It’s kinda concerning and pretty annoying when some people start with the “this is a normal reaction, not an autistic thing”.

          Infuriating since annoyances are equated with real suffering. I always try to explain that yes, there are things which NT can experience but they have a scale from 0 to 100 and ND scale can be wildly off like > 4000% which can cause a whole range of psychological as well as physical issues.

        You try having ADHD and going 24 hours without food. All you can think about is eating. It’s very distracting. It’s an ADHD thing 🤷‍♀️

      There’s a difference between “that’s a bit annoying” and “I literally can’t think of anything else and I must tear off the tag even if I destroy the shirt and I mean RIGHT now or I’m getting naked”

      If you take a single trait, it’s almost never autistic or whatever only. But it can be a common one among autistic people.

      But there are people who don’t care about tags and let them in their clothes.

    I think the little dangling threads really put this over the top for me.

    I feel delightfully squirmy, but not in the fun way.

      I think “delightfully” is a direct opposite to “not in the fun way”

      Depends if you can stand to wear a wool turtleneck (over another shirt that keeps the wool only touching your neck).

      I can’t stand any turtleneck, personally, for exactly the same reason I can’t do tags. It’s there touching me, and it feels wrong but won’t go away, and the wrongness bothers me. Even super fluffy soft fabrics are wrong on my neck.

    If you somehow manage to put that shit on me, you better kill me afterwards. Because if I take it off, you’re going to deal with an overloaded velocirap human that’s going to show you the meaning of overcharged anger.
