That I'm aware of, virtually none. However, there are several types of materials that hearing or touching them makes me feel... sick? I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It just repulses me, shakes me to my very core, like every single cell in my body just wants to throw up and scream at the same time.
I suppose that could be considered a sensory issue.
Clothing sensitivities is a common autistic sensory sensitivity. A lot of autistic sensory sensitivities are not reconized as such for a few reasons. The Autistic assumes that everybody else also has the issue. Sensory sentivities are mistaken for social issues. Difficulty with eye contact often viewed as a social impairment is believed to be caused by sensory sensitivies. Anxiety in a crowd party type social situation could be caused by light, smell, touch sensitivities.
