Image: Two images almost identical to each other stacked vertically. The top one is the back of a neck of a person wearing a sweater with the tag sticking out. It is captioned "What it looks like". The bottom image is the exact same image but the sweater's tag has been replaced with a cactus. It is captioned "What it feels like".

This isn't autism, this is universal.

The problem with tags is often amplified with Autism and a lot of neurotypicals do not struggle with this whatsoever, I don't know anyone who does.

I'd prefer more specific posts, but this post is fine.

I recall a post about resting your foot on its side while sitting in a chair meaning you're autistic.

I still don't know if that one was facetious or not.

There’s a huge difference between a tag bothering you throughout the day, and a tag completely destroying your ability to function.

Not even close to true, most people I know don't remove tags

Is Autism the new depression? People saying they totally have it when they are undiagnosed and mostly experiencing the same things as everyone else?
