When I wear certain types of fabric or see certain colour combinations, I always get this weird, ragdoll-esque feeling that can be described as weak, warm and unpleasant. Does anyone else get it?

There is a name for that, but I don't remember what it is. But it can be common in autism to see colors based in texture. And also texture effecting mood. A lot of people with autism prefer to wear very soft loose fitting clothing with as little felling of texture as possible.

What you described might be a form of synesthesia.

Usually people think of synesthesia as a situation where one sense is "replaced" by another sense (for example, some people might think that the number 1 is yellow, or that a word, as written, has human qualities).

I get a very strange feeling when I see something that looks "wrong" like a certain pattern of clouds or a pattern on an object or clothing. It's not really describable, but it's like a sudden rush of something, like fear and sickness and anger at the same time.
