i’ve never thought about Bad Fabrics, but on the other end of the spectrum i do have this nice Velour Robe that i bought my wife that i occasionally steal. Then there’s the Fluffy Cat that i picked up with my Shirt Off the other day and just about died in sensory joy overload. i’ve never had it be too much before it was weird.
Oh, it’s a way sensory overload can manifest. I hate lace, although admire the artwork of it. I like soft plush things and running my fingers on things that are smooth. I don’t like wearing silks though, too slippery on the body. Some fabrics make SOUND and those are the worst.
It helps so much to make my brain stop caring about Too Many Sounds and Bad Fabrics its wild.
Oh, shit.
Bad fabrics. Finally, someone else? E.g. touching some velvety stuff makes it feel like I can’t breathe?
How do I learn more about it? I’m scared to know what it means, but can probably guess.
About which? Being autistic or having sensory overload related to physical sensations?
I’ve just never heard anyone else talk about being sensitive to particular materials.

Cats are always on the good end of the touching scale. With their permission!
especially when my hands are achy, there’s nothing better

Yup!!! Purely being subjective, but i think the “high” that neurotypicals describe is more of a filtering for nd folk.
