Are you over or under responsive to certain sensory inputs?
Were you as a kid?
I can get overwhelmed by lots of noise and visual input. I really like soft textures and have to touch them. I can’t read analog clocks well. I like climbing on things, laying under heavy blankets and pressing on bruises because they all give me the sensation of my muscles stretching. As a kid, I wore my socks inside out because the seams on the toes were painful to me. I also refused to wear jeans as a child, because they were so uncomfortable. Socks and jeans are fine now, but sometimes if I'm already overwhelmed shirt tags are terrible.
