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

people talking loudly... the lunchroom at school makes me miserable (not usually to the point of a reaction though [saying "reaction" bc idk if its a meltdown or shutdown and it only lasts for a like a minute when it happens so maybe it's neither? idk but its still a sensory struggle for me nonetheless], only time that really happens is if like someone starts screaming too, you'd be surprised at how these LITERAL HIGH SCHOOLERS screech in the building like toddlers). thankfully my school doesn't require an iep for headphones (we opted to not tell the school about my diagnosis because it doesn't affect my ability to learn at all) i just don't have a pair yet

also. tight/fitting clothes. bleehhhhhhhh. im okay with leggings though AS LONG AS THEY'RE SOFT. i have this pair of leggings in my closet that ive never worn bc theyre made of this weird, stiff fabric. i also didn't start wearing jeans regularly until like this past year.

also felt makes me want to rip my hand off most of the time

@PK_ST4R_ST0RM: I hate having dirty hands but I also hate washing my hands sometimes!! It's the feeling of my hands being wet that bothers me personally

I really really hate two TVS or devices playing different sounds/videos at the same time. Also scratching things accidentally and if I accidentally grind my teeth together... it hurts so bad (not physical pain but y'know). Also, lenticular prints are the bane of my existance, just thinking about it makes me cringe.

I have real bad misophonia. I can't even describe the sounds I have because I'll think about hearing them and get overstimmed. When I hear a them I jerk and fail around (I don't wanna call it tics but something along those likes) and ill think about the situation for days and still be upset I hear the Bad Sounds.

just being around people in general, I can't even sit with my own family after school because I just need to not interact at all for at least 4 hours lol

And for textures I CANNOT touch like fake velvet felt (I honestly don't know what it is) and unglazed pottery/terracotta. I legit freaked out and almost dropped a statue in the middle of a store because I picked up an unglazed statue

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

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
