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”
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”.
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.
There’s no way this is an autistic only trait right? You’re telling me people just go around dealing with those things?

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.

It’s kinda concerning how people often are taking normal reactions/behaviors and labeling them as autistic or ADHD.
Everyone pisses, but if you did it 50 times a day you’d go to a doctor.
Say it louder for the people in the back.

Much obliged.

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 🤷♀️
That is literally so easy, I regularly do it by accident because I hyperfocus on some nonsense.
Took me fourteen hours to fix a problem yesterday. I bet it would have taken 4 if I had eaten something during the troubleshooting
Yes but is that worth the utter and complete agony of stopping what you’re doing and then starting again 10 minutes later? /s
ironically I often forget to eat and get trapped in binge/fast cycles unless I painstakingly log every single thing I eat.
Same with OCD

I leave those on too, isunless they’re the variety that’s more stale than usual. Those bastards itch
The only time I think about them is if I’m dressing in the dark and need to orient a t-shirt
I’ve never not ripped one off.
