What are your most hated sensations

Post Reply New Topic

My least favorite sensations lie in the tatctile regions, especially after I've cut my nails.

Tissues
Towels
The metal on cars
Wool
Mushy foods.

-Opening the cap on my shampoo bottle when my fingers are soaked
-Being full
-dense, formless vegetation
-noisy crowds
-bright lights
-being fat (love handles against my beltline)
-using sunscreen or any greasy lotion
-mushy foods
-being drunk
-not knowing why things are as they are
-brushing my back teeth

wool or anything resembling wool
lace, so no lacy bras or underwear
anything sticky or gooey on my hands, which leads to frequent handwashing during baking.
taking meat from the meat counter - the sound that the plastic and styrofoam makes as it rubs together sends shivers throughout my body.
people poking my arm or shoulder to get my attention. light touch is not offensive except if someone touches the inner part of my arms.
lipstick, can't wear it. other cosmetics are ok as long as not greasy.
socks that bunch up in my shoes and even the tiniest pebble needs to be removed from my shoes.
I used to hate fluorescent lights but they don't bother me too much now.

One of the things that used to bug the hell outta me was back in elementary school when people would turn of the computer (the old Apple II E) but leave the monitor on, the high pitched hum would drive me nuts.

Than there's the nails on a chalk board sound, plus the sensation when i try to do it myself.

does country music count

I have a few of my own and it seems the most common are:

loud-barking dogs

screaming babies and kids

loud, noisy machines

Here's an auditory one:

The sound of my kids bickering over who gets the "good computer", or whining about the fact that it takes more than two seconds for their life-like graphics to load, or sighing heavily because even though they have more Lego than anyone else on the planet, they don't have the one specific piece that they "need".

when there are a bunch of children and babies screaming all at once....which sometimes happens on a busy day at the store where I work.

adding this to my list


cold ultrasound gel.... sucks when the gel warmer is broken

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM

the PA system at the Superstore or any loud and sudden noise that has a sense of urgency to it

That stuffy blocked ache in your nose and sinus.

the two worst ones are luckily not so hard to avoid.

one is common even among NTs: i don't like the sound of knives being sharpened.

the second gets me a lot of weird reactions when i tell people (at least NTs): i CANNOT touch tulle! even thinking about tulle makes me feel all shivery. luckily i've only come into contact with it a few times in my life. horrifyingly my mother tried to dress me in skirts that had tulle lining when i was a child. well, you can imagine my reaction.

sound of a radio out of frequency
comercials on radio or tv, when the sound intensity breaks very often

Right now, the feeling my prozac is giving me

the feeling of small drops of water anywhere really annoy me.

light touching on my face

if someone comes up behind me and puts their hand on my shoulder (makes me cringe)

the feeling of makeup...ewww, I have to wear it for the stage and I hate it.

wearing a dancebelt (most people won't know what that is)

putting on clothes that are slightly damp. Like if the dryer doesn't dry them all the way.

any small noise when I'm trying to sleep. Ironically the sound of a busy street next to my window doesn't bother me but a drip from a faucet will keep me awake all night.

SNORING! oh my god, I hate it so much....makes me want to punch someone or myself.
