| Yes. The only style of clothes that I wear are hoodies. And it's not because of fashion. I have sensory issues so hoodies are the only clothes that feel comfortable on me. |

| Psych wards are not fun especially for people who have sensory and social anxiety issues. Since I couldn't wear any hoodies, I wore a hospital bed sheet on my head. The doctor thought that this was abnormal so I ended up in a straitjacket in a padded room. Afterwards I was pumped full of drugs and w... |

| When I have a meltdown it's like I lose control and my body goes on auto pilot. When I have have a meltdown I tend to throw myself into walls and objects. I'll also bang my head on objects. |

My sensory issues and social anxiety make it impossible to act normal.
I tried to go a whole day and act, and dress normal a few years ago but it didn't go well and I started to have panic attacks. |

| No I hate being touched. I feel unsafe when my personal space is invaded. I've gotten better at dealing with it but I still don't like it. |

| There's clearly a generation gap over the whole "Too old for things". I expect that in a few decides it will go away. More and more people are realising that video games are not just for kids. |

I have sensory issues and as a result I don't find most clothes to be comfortable. I don't like most shirts and I especially hate dreeses. Plus I have major social ... |

I used to hate clothes shopping cause my mom would make me try dresses on. I always tried to refuse since I don't feel safe wearing anything other then hoodies.
After a couple of years she finally got the picture, and now she only buys me hoodies.  |

She thought I was lying to her, and I was put in the timeout room and I started having a meltdown. I later f... |
