What are your Autistic sensory issues?

Like most of my sensory stuff is really weird. Like towels make me want to cry, I’ve never been able to wear jeans, eating some frozen stuff, any type of socks besides the ones that I wear (I’ve been re-buying them for like 7 years), chewing sounds, even slightly dirty feeling hands mean I can’t even slightly function. More on the towels, if I touch a towel wrong I will come VERY close to screaming almost every time. People always treat it like it’s so dumb and I hate it, like bro please. Also a more normal one is I cannot STAND having hair in my face so when I’m having sensory overload I just want to shave my head because of how uncomfortable it is. And with the socks, if normal socks touch my feet, no they don’t because I would never let that happen. It makes me want to rip my hair out and scream. Uh yeah slay id

velvet textures, tile floors, fireworks or really anything thats loud that isnt music but even music gets too overwhelming for me, oily stuff, extra chewy stuff, and dirty/wet hands make me wanna cry-

my main one is if I touch paper/any wood products up to an hour after my hands have been wet, it hurts like hell. it doesn't matter if my hands are dried, if they were wet at all it still counts.

the sensation is akin to taking chalk to a cheese grater, except my soul is the chalk and the feeling of wood stuff on my hands is the cheese grater. so, it feels like a part of my soul is getting shredded

I also hate celery because of the stringyness and the terrible sound it makes when you snap it or chew it. plus it's gross tasting

i'm very sensitive to noise, so you can imagine having 5 brothers is not fun for me

Sudden sounds. It doesn't matter what sounds, just, Sounds. I also hate the sound of motors (blow dryer, leaf blower, car starting etc) And I hate the sound of when water hits plastic (I hate shower caps so much. I can't handle the sound)

I freaking hate the feeling of lotion. I hate it so much ernfsnf,e I rather have my skin be dry

The smell of cologne or perfume. I cannot handle it. Or anything strong

washing hands. i hate it so much because i can't just not wash my hands but the feeling of them after they dry is so bad and i hate it so much. also towels too, but like a certain type. i only use beach towels because they're softer than regular house towels. and the feeling of smooth concrete. even with shoes it just feels so abnormal.

here is a good sensory thing i have though! water or puddles in gravel. regular gravel is a no go for me, but when its wet its so fun and crunchy and gives under your feet easier
