Autistic girl community on Sidechat | I’m curious, what are some of your sensory nightmares? I can’t touch metals without freaking out, feeling dirty, and having to wash and scrub the ‘affected’ area. It feels like a slight “burn” (I’m not allergic, just brain funky) until it’s cleaned.

I can neverrrr wear t-shirts cause when u put on a hoodie over it and the sleeves start bunching up and just being messy underneath the hoodie I will immediately have a break down😭 There are truly so many examples of this but I don’t even know the words to describe it in English LOL I just absolutely hate when my clothes don’t feel right, makes me wanna throw up

I also absolutely hate being wet, so the time BETWEEN getting out of the shower and getting into clean clothes is also horrible
