Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

@Glisten I do have a tendency of experiencing overstimulation as well as understimulation. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate, still trying to master the balancing act. Also my ASD brain is sometimes in conflict with my ADHD brain, it is so confusing

@Oaktree  That cheese puzzle looks a little bit unsolved to me. 😁

I couldn’t ruin the cheese puzzle for other people could I?

@Oaktree  Good call.

@creative_writer Do you have the enhanced sense of smell and weirdness with the feeling of Synthetic textures?

Nylon puts my teeth on edge. I can’t touch Polyester sheets or furnishings covered in microfibre.

I’m ok with microfibre cleaning cloths. I guess because I like cleaning 🤷🏼‍♀️?

My clothes, socks 🧦 sheets, towels have to be flax, cotton, hemp, wool. 

I’m fine with natural fibre fabrics ✅

Do any of you have a smell or texture thing?

Wet bread makes me gag. Sometimes if I chew it too long I cant swallow it

I get that with gristly or chewy meat.  Its probably why most meat I eat is minced beef or chicken breast... or burgers.

@GlistenI dont really have an aversion to any fabrics.  Although i do remember as a little kid been given a woolen jumper to wear and it was so itchy, i refused to wear it and have never worn one since.

Oh my stars @MJG017 I am the same as you with food!

Mohair jumpers 😖 My mother knitted me one and it had goblins in it.

Never wore it again.

@Glisten I do. I can gag when I smell something unpleasant. I do love perfumes as long as it’s not overpowering. If I smelt it constantly and strongly for hours, even good smells might become too much. Toilet cleaning is a nightmare. I also prefer natural fabrics as base layers. My preference is for bamboo because it’s softer than cotton. Cotton and linen also work for me. Though I think I prefer mixture of bamboo cotton for socks and active wear like leggings. Silk is also good for scrunchies and sleep mask. Don’t forget the tags, those can be annoying.

@creative_writer do you cut your tags off as well? 😆
