Any form of crumb or sand in my bed. I will feel that one particle in my back like a dagger all night
This so much. My mother used to tell me the story of the princess and the pita even I was little, and I think it was probably a moralistic story, but I have no idea — but I related to that girl so much.
Same goes for bare feet. I don't mind being outside barefoot, that's where dirt is supposed to be... But indoors? No thanks.
That's not neurodivergent, that's everybody. Nobody likes even a single crumb in their bed.
I have a neurodivergent spouse that doesn't give a shit about crumbs in the bed. So you're wrong on at least one count.
Crumbs in the bed? That's not neurodivergent, that's psychopathic.
