About which? Being autistic or having sensory overload related to physical sensations?

    I've just never heard anyone else talk about being sensitive to particular materials.

    Oh, it's a way sensory overload can manifest. I hate lace, although admire the artwork of it. I like soft plush things and running my fingers on things that are smooth. I don't like wearing silks though, too slippery on the body. Some fabrics make SOUND and those are the worst.

    i've never thought about Bad Fabrics, but on the other end of the spectrum i do have this nice Velour Robe that i bought my wife that i occasionally steal. Then there's the Fluffy Cat that i picked up with my Shirt Off the other day and just about died in sensory joy overload. i've never had it be too much before it was weird.
