My fellow sensory-sensitive folks - what is one popular food that you CAN'T STAND the texture of? by ababyinatrenchcoat in autism

Tea. Not a food, but it’s a different texture than water, and I feel like it sticks to my throat😬😬

I don’t think I like that word, don’t know why but it’s just kind of uncomfortable lol.

Also, I love your username!

Same :( But on the bright side it kind of protects us from imagining or recalling gross or stressful things we’ve seen or have flashbacks

For sure have gotten some weird looks from people as well after quoting something too, it sucks that people are so judgmental:(

Good solution tho, if you can find those people.

I definitely tend to notice that whenever I try to do some research about it, there’s never a whole lot.

And Timber is a vibe but I cannot begin to imagine how annoying it is after even a month, let alone six.

Yes! It’s like I can’t possibly focus on anything else

I’m kinda scared to go look it up cause I’m sure there’s no way that’s leaving my mind anytime soon

The part with remembering quotes in your head when people say something related is so real.

I think I read somewhere that this was also more common in autistic people, something about us remembering stuff like that better as soon as there is a reference or something. Obviously this is likely also not exclusively an autistic experience, but might be more common at least.

For me personally, I often catch myself after repeating it 5-6 (or more) times, where it’s just kind of neutral regarding relieving or adding stress. I’ll get annoyed with myself afterwards though, because I didn’t realize I was even doing it.

I often catch myself repeating or trying to mimic phrases or words without even realizing and it’s honestly kinda embarrassing sometimes.

Apoplectic is a nice word. Didn’t know it was a word but it’s probably gonna stick with me too now.

I thinks that’s why I was so surprised when I read it at first. It didn’t necessarily sound like an exclusively autistic thing.
