I’d be screaming the safe word just by bringing this thing into the room.

You got it - clothing tags and random itchy threads.

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"

It's kinda concerning how people often are taking normal reactions/behaviors and labeling them as autistic or ADHD.

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.

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.

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.

I feel delightfully squirmy, but not in the fun way.

I think "delightfully" is a direct opposite to "not in the fun way"

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.
