It’s fluorescent light now but when I was a kid I would get almost emotional when I’d see ppl with long hair put a shirt on immediately after swimming and their hair would make the back of the shirt wet and they all seemed fine with it???!!! and I could never go on water rides at amusement parks without a change of clothes ready
I don’t know. I see that that sensory processing is a sign of ADHD. As an older female, my skin now is thin, dry, and more sensitive to itchy items: clothing tags. Many synthetic fabrics and hard plastic-type threads are used to sew seams & clothing tags. And my cheaper clothing uses cheaper materials rather than cotton. Cheaper fabrics also seem to melt a bit & form little prickly fibers and bonds that poke the skin and itch.
touching wet shower walls/wet hair, rubbing/scratching denim with hands, sensitive smell
I absolutely cannot stand the feeling of wet clothes. I live in a rainy city, so this is kinda a problem. I sometimes don’t leave the house when it rains a lot and even cancel meetings with friends or stuff because I know, getting there the only thing i think about is my wet jeans, hair, the wet jacket I need to put on later…… at home, when my clothes get wet accidentally, i change immediately 😂
Noises and some music specifically… reggae. I don’t know why but I can react very violently… 🫣
A toothbrush that is somehow a little bit dry against the teeth. It makes me want to crawl out of my own skin. 🥶 a daily struggle…
I cannot physically do dishes like just the feeling of like oh my God no I just can’t sorry so my parents have been very helpful with that because I got diagnosed with ADHD when I was about nine or 10 and I’m 12 now so they let me unload the dishwasher for my chore instead of loading it so I don’t have to touch the dishes which is very helpful. I also have other issues that the main one. (:
I have “a few”….. 😅 • Lights that are not natural. Hate both “warm” and “cold” lightbulbs. I have to search explicitly for those with natural light (those look just like daylight) • I can’t cope with too many people speaking at once. If music is added to it then I’m screwed… • I hate getting my fingers or hands icky… doing the dishes is a real struggle for me 🫠 • Dry microfibre cloths 🤢 they stick to my fingers in the most nerve wrecking way. • Textures of food. Especially dry textures that aren’t crunchy - such as canned tuna, boiled potatoes, dry rise, dry bread, overcooked peas, beans, overcooked fish or meats…. However any of these can be edible with a generous amount of sauce. • Intense smells. Overdosed perfumes. Mold. Cigarette smoke. Strong smell of sweat. Unventilated spaces as warm closed cars, old wood cabins, sometimes bedrooms.
