    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.

        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.

        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”.

        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 🤷‍♀️

      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”

    • troot@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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.

    • ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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.

        I confirm i have one, well two, but i can’t tell exactly. The annoying ones are usually long. Also you better not start thinking about these little things because it’s like virus.

        No really don’t even start to think about it.

      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.

      source
      • garbagebagel@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        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.

      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.

    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 velocirap human that’s going to show you the meaning of overcharged anger.

    So I’m a little lost. Are those supposed to be empty wrappers or containers of something?

    Anything specific, or just vague plastic aluminum-y things? I’m just so confused here. I get the sensory part, but based on the reactions here is gotta be something more specific.

      It’s interesting to me that people like you exist (even though I’m assuming you’re in the vast majority). It’s like how it sounds made up to me that there are these supposed “extroverts” that gain energy from talking to people.

    Which way is the rear? I tell that by the tag. (Yes, I add tags to clothing that doesn’t have them, except socks)

    source
    • The_Hideous_Orgalorg@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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.

      …

      but you’re right. My shirts that have the tag printed on are nearly impossible to put on without at least one ‘oops it’s backwards’ event a week.

      My T-shirts all have the tag at the bottom of the left seam.

    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.

    Is It just be that loathes the word “autist”? Gives me real “Oriental” or “the blacks” vibes

    source
    • ickplant@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      In my experience living with an autistic husband and having working with many autistic people, they don’t mind the word at all and use it themselves.

      source
      • SaraTonin@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        As an autistic person with several autistic family members, friends, and associates, I’ve never met someone who used it or liked it

        Perhaps it’s a US vs UK thing? I’ve only seen US and Canadian people use it, in the same way that I’ve only seen US people use the term “blacks“ when referring to black people

        It has that connotation to me. And the fact that it’s the term of choice to use as an insult in places like 4chan and other edgelord spaces doesn’t help

        Seems like it’s one of those things like “autistic person be ”person with autism“ where there’s no consensus within the community

      I’ve only ever heard the term(?) used by people with whatever aspergers is being called these days. They used it to refer primarily to themselves. It’s only 3 people though.

      source
      • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Aspergers has basically been rolled into Autism Spectrum Disorder.

        More technically, its a more specific sort of set of behaviors/mannerisms/ways of thinking and acting, but, they all fall into the new category of ASD.

        ASD is… a spectrum, of things that are different from the norm, Aspergers is basically a subset within that set, though many other subsets are possible and exist, in different instensities.

        source
    • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      No, I describe myself as an autist all the time.

      I am an autistic. I am an autist.

      Its a word that describes what I am.

      If you get bad vibes from it, you have some insrcurities you need to handle.

      source
      • SaraTonin@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Say it was Black instead. Can you not see how describing someone as “a black” could be dehumanising?

        I am autistic. I am an autist.

        I am schizophrenic. I am a schizoid.

        I have Down’s Syndrome. I am a Down’s.

        Or just disability in general.

        I am blind. I am a blindist.

        I am deaf. I am a deafist.

        Or even just other self-describing words.

        I am old. I am an oldist.

        I am tall. I am a tallist.

        I have zero insecurities about being autistic. I also dislike coy phrases like “on the spectrum”, which have the implication that there’s something wrong with saying that someone is autistic. Like it’s something to be ashamed of. It’s fine. I am autistic. You can say I’m autistic. That’s cool.

        But that doesn’t mean that I should accept a term just because that’s what 4chan, WallStreetBets, and Gab popularised by using to put us down either by using it ironically or just by straight-up using it as an insult. You can make an argument for reclamation, perhaps, but I don’t think we’re there.

        And, and perhaps this is just me, but isn’t it a horrible word? Phonetically?

        As I’ve said, there seems to be no consensus in the autism community and one dividing line appears to be America vs. the UK
