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

the feeling of tight jeans, i try to make them as loose as I could because I like how they look and they are casual, hair in my face, specifically my baby hairs I hate how they feel and they always touch my nose or eyelid i hate it sm, and to have like glue on my hands after a craft project I want to like rip off my fingertips cuz it bothers me sm, and loud sounds like for example balloons popping, and silverware like clashing with each other idk if that make sense, makes me cringe and hurts my ears a ton

Whistling. It genuinely hurts my ears so bad and people think that I just "don't like it" like no it makes me want to literally rip my hair out.

last year in biology people wouldn't stop whistling even after I asked them to stop so I just left the room. when I came back they started again. My friend yelled at them to all shut up because I was having an autistic meltdown and they only whistled louder

luckily, my bio teacher (I absolutely love her) yelled at everyone and threatened to suspend the next person who whistled.

people still whistle to bother me but it's a lot less intense

i have more but that's the main one

i will actually lose it if my hands are dry, but at the same time, i HAAATE having lotion on my hands. shrug

i hate the feeling of bedsheets against my hands or feet if theyre dry, so i always have socks on. i just hate my feet touching anything actually, i literally ALWAYS have socks on

i also absolutely HATE sudden loud noises, will shut me down every time, but it's different when im listening to music cus i listen to heavier stuff so idk lmao

I can't really be anywhere there isnt a fan or any semblance of background noise (I have tinnitus so that only makes it worse), i have a lot of sensory issues with food (which people never ever believe its autism they always think its because im fat that I dont wanna eat it), I hate feeling hot and humid n stuff, I have no problem being cold, and those r like the biggest ones.
