Now will my autistic teenager…

I am unaware of the effects of Tylenol.
What does it do about shirt tags? How does someone else “sucking up” (what does that mean?) a headache have to do with another’s shirt tags and sensory issues?exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
This is a joke about Tylenol during pregnancy causing autism, a ridiculous claim made by Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Their mom probably also is weirdly particular about certain textures “for no reason at all” 👀
krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I can’t stand tags.
I love certain textures. Anything soft. Some book covers.
I need to wear my socks inside out because the seams drive me insane.
I hate bright lights.
Uh oh

Congratulations you have Sense Perception if you haven’t received a formal diagnosis you’re probably just normal.

Wait, being irritated by tags in shirt is an autism thing? I just thought it was a pretty common kid thing…
shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I don’t think anyone likes them, but maybe autistic people are more likely to absolutely detest them. I know my partner certainly does; she cuts them out of every shirt she wears… Including some of mine, unfortunately.
mika_mika@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Big doubt this person is on the severe on the autism disorder spectrum and is just a social media user seeking engagement.
No one likes obnoxious tags.
Potatar@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I don’t like the tags (end of discussion). = No sympoms here
I don’t like the tags and I LITERALLY cannot wear anything man made unless the tags are cut = Symptom right here.
Shelena@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
I do not think that if you are irritated by tags it necessarily means that you are autistic. I get irritated by tags and I have been tested for autism and I am not autistic. I am not completely neurotypical in other ways though.
Aneb@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I still get irritated by tags in my shirt if they are by my neck
jj4211@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah, but as adults we start to just declare we are going to suck it up more.
Comrade_Spood@quokk.au 2 weeks ago
Looking through the comments highlights once again that neurotypicals continue to invalidate neurodivergent experiences because they do no understand the experience. Part of it is certainly due to the language we continue to use, as it doesnt explain the full extent of the experience. But another is just neurotypical people refusing to understand the struggles of neurodivergent people.
In relation to specifically this meme, yes most people do not like tags. Most people find them irritable and uncomfortable. The difference is autistic people are more senstive to sensory things, to the point something like a tag itching at your neck becomes an excrutiating and unmanageable experience.
If you can go a whole day wearing a shirt with a tag in it with no major issues, you are probably a neurotypical. If when you wear a shirt with a tag it is a unbearable sensation, something you cant ignore and stresses you out to the point you cant go a full day wearing it and still function as a humanbeing, you are probably autistic.
For future reference for neurotypical people, stop assuming you know what being neurodivergent is. For those people trying to find the fakers, stop. You arent a doctor, just like how that person you are trying to accuse of self diagnosing for attention is also not a doctor. You genuinely do not know what you are talking about and are genuinely no better than all the transphobic chuds that “transvestigate” people. At best you called out a shitty person trying to earn internet points (someone who will not think twice about your comment), and at worse you are invalidating someone’s personal lived experience (something that can seriously affect their mental health).
If someone is talking about their experience as a neurodivergent person and you think “Hey I do that,” there are two more likely possibilities than that they are faking. Either 1. You are autistic and don’t know it. Or 2. You are not understanding the full extent of what they are talking about.

This is why the downvotes. Not all neurodivergent people are autistic, and not autistic people have this specific sensory problem. For example, my partner doesn’t have a problem with tags, but that doesn’t override his ADHD diagnosis and make him neurotypical.
Comrade_Spood@quokk.au 2 weeks ago
You are right, I phrased that wrong. I fixed it.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I find it weird to be attacking neurotypicals for not understanding neurodivergents and then saying this stuff about tags, which is almost universally irritating. It really does take a kind of person not to have that bother them.
Also, who is invalidating experiences? I either couldn’t find them or I’m blind to it. If anything, people are saying not to self-diagnose, and others are agreeing that neurodivergents may find that more irritating than usual.

Can you find a real outlet for this indignant justice fetish?
FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I’m sorry for the negative responses you’re getting on this. You have a point and in my opinion your comment comes across as being frustrated yet still respectful. You’re not attacking anyone, you’re expressing an annoyance you have on a forum in a thread that’s on topic. It’s exactly the right place for you to talk about. I’m so shocked at the response you’re getting on this! It doesn’t make any sense to me.
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I just want to say I spent almost 45 minutes to attempt to respond to this and ended up just deleting it.
I’m sure it’s tough to be neurodivergent, and there are plenty neurotypical folks who would like to understand and make your life easier. I would also like to understand and support other minority positions, and every one is an investment of time and effort.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
Your argument is valid, but your approach is wrong.
buttnugget@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
What other approach do you suggest?
ulterno@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
If you can go a whole day wearing a shirt with a tag in it with no major issues, you are probably not autistic
Or maybe it is because the tags are made of better stuff?
Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Fuck tags. I absolutely despise them. I rip those pitches off everything. Blanket? Rip that hoe off. Shirt? Fuck you i rather have a hole in my shirt than a tag. Pillow? He’ll no. Fuck tags man
buttnugget@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Tags are the worst. I’m so happy for the trend of silk screening them onto the fabric directly.
faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
It’s the polyester, imo. A lot of natural fibers get fuzzier as they wear, but the plastic fiber tags will polish to a sharp edge.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s probably not relevant, but on the subject of fabrics: have you guys ever noticed how velvet and its ilk make it literally impossible to breathe?
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Wow, this is something I’ve noticed for my whole life but never talked about or anything, just assumed it was some odd quirk of mine. But yes, I have a specific recollection of touching some kind of paper that had like a velour side to it, and just catching my breath for some reason, and it’s happened a handful of times in the last 30+ years since then.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I noticed it when I was a kid in Walmart. Just part of being supet normal, I’ve learned. Velvet makes you unable to breathe. What of it!?
vithigar@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I feel the need to ask about the choice of “loud” as the adjective here. Are the tags actually making audible noise, or is this just a non-standard usage of it an a synonym for “overwhelming”?
exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I wouldn’t say it’s all that “nonstandard.” The word “loud” is often used to mean distracting or attention-grabbing in a visual context, so extending it to other senses doesn’t seem like that far of a leap.

If her mom hadn’t taken Tylenol, she wouldn’t be bothered by the sound of tags rubbing in her shirt
