When they don’t ask at all is the worst! Like get away from me 😅

[elsielovescartoons]

as someone with sensory processing disorder, i 100% agree with this 😅

[lynbah]

Wow! I’m so glad I decided to check you tube, most everything I eat, smell, taste, touch, touches me is crypto it’s painful, can’t even take pain medications or any kind of meds, I can even feel the chemicals from a paper or plastic bag, & perfume is the devil! It’s so scary & miserable because they only way Dr’s know how to help me is with pills or surgery. I’m screwed!

As long as they ask its a much better experience that someone just touching me randomly

[jay-anthonyservice]

Thank you!! Nothing is wrong, just thinking lmaooo 😂

It really switches for me. I only want a hug when I want it so I’ll be like no and then all of a sudden I’ll want a hug and then I’ll be like wait I want one.

My Auditory Processing Disorder can’t hear the last word.. what is it?

[charlottesearle]

Yeah I have spd and people think I am rude by saying no

[Offthehookfan]

Hugs touching any sort of physical touch is a no for me!!!

[A-Ls]

Dude I wouldn’t even be able to wear your outfit. Not that it isn’t nice but I have sensory processing disorder too but mine is skin sensitive. If she got on a thriller outfit she bet not even think about hugging me 😂

Cotton balls😵‍💫 tags and seams in my clothes😖 people touching me without me knowing it's coming and without my permission 🤯 certain sounds 😱 texture and smell of certain foods 🤢🤮 and the worst one of all that people are incredulous when I tell them, I don't regularly go get a haircut because it is actually painful, when the stylist or barber uses the clippers near my ears and my neck the sensation I feel is pain😰😭

Literally, SPD can be diagnosed apart from Autism or ADHD, autism and ADHD are actually also extremely common same with SPD
