Not kink-shaming, but I think this transcends anything short of genuine torture.
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.
Everyone pisses, but if you did it 50 times a day you’d go to a doctor.
Say it louder for the people in the back.

Much obliged.
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”.
I’m not sure if it applies to autism to the same degree, but that’s actually one of the main problems with ADHD:
Most of our symptoms are things that neurotypicals struggle with too, but taken to 11 because of congenital differences in neurochemistry including but in no way limited to chronic dopamine deficiency.
Same with OCD
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 🤷♀️
ironically I often forget to eat and get trapped in binge/fast cycles unless I painstakingly log every single thing I eat.

That is literally so easy, I regularly do it by accident because I hyperfocus on some nonsense.
Took me fourteen hours to fix a problem yesterday. I bet it would have taken 4 if I had eaten something during the troubleshooting
Yes but is that worth the utter and complete agony of stopping what you’re doing and then starting again 10 minutes later? /s
I read your comment, thought “Am I dealing with one?” and had to reach into my shirt to check if it had one or not. It turns out it does! So… I guess so. I’m irregular in other ways, though, so I might not be a good point of comparison.
Autist here:
I either buy shirts that don’t have them, or use a seam ripper to take them off, when I get them.
Yeah, they’re so annoying that I have a whole pre-planned way of handling this, lol.
Sometimes… somtimes, the tag will be made of a kind of fabric that is actually very soft, not scratchy, not pokey. This is very rare in my experience, but I have had a few bits of clothes like that.
I leave those on too, isunless they’re the variety that’s more stale than usual. Those bastards itch

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”
The only time I think about them is if I’m dressing in the dark and need to orient a t-shirt
I’ve never not ripped one off.
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.
Its annoying to normies.
It causes more or less significant to extreme mental and physical anguish to many autists.
Many autists have basically heightened levels of awareness with one or many of their physical senses, as compared to non autists.
Like, I frequently notice minor visual details in the world around me, that most other people completely miss, tell me I’m lying when I say I saw them, then they go check and are angry that I was right.
Same thing with heightened sensitivity to bright light, as well as extreme repulsion from certain color palettes.
Or, same kind of thing with sounds. Myself, a lot of other autistic people get extremely irritated by low intensity, but perisistent sounds that are either very high or very low frequency … that most people don’t notice untill you tell them to stop and focus, then, they can hear them.
But for autists it is… sometimes literally so annoying it will drive you mad. It causes actual pain from how stressed it makes you.
Its why autists and noise canceling headphones are a thing.
Most ‘ASMR’ videos?
I’d rather run into brick wall at 20 mph.
ASMR is a thing, but, as a genre of content, its largely a bunch of idiots making the most annoying and aggravating sounds possible, and acting like its soothing.
tl:dr; yeah, its not an autistic only thing, but something like this is fucking kryptonite to autists.
I have sound sensitivity as well, but actually love asmr when it’s done correctly. But you’re right, the majority of it is garbage.
Thanks! I was curious because I have other traits that have been labelled as neurodivergent by my therapists but I’m not diagnosed or anything so I never know if something is “normal” or not.
this may actually be better than a singular one, as that is now somewhat consistent
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.
New kink unlocked.
She’s wearing it inside out.
Who hurt you
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
velociraphuman that’s going to show you the meaning of overcharged anger.Which way is the rear? I tell that by the tag. (Yes, I add tags to clothing that doesn’t have them, except socks)
One can usually tell by the cut of the material. For example, on tshirts, look at where the shoulder seam meets the neck, it will usually be to the back of center.
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”
It’s that or the shirt with a syrup spot that’s always at least a little sticky no matter how many times you wash it (and somehow never in the same exact place so don’t bother trying to get used to it). Rather back-stroke my way through a mile of tangled concertina wire.
twitching just looking at this
You can find all sorts of gore on the Interwebs. This one… This one terrifies me.
Scratchier, Daddy.
Just touching certain types of bread sends a shiver through my spine
one shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind the creator’s face…
what dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?
