There's more, but That's all I can think of at the moment.

I hate it when I fart and it comes out wet.

When I'm sitting close to people and they keep brushing up against me

Sitting in a place with not much leg room because I can't stretch my legs or crack them (I have a habit/stim of cracking joints and just have to do it like all the time)

Certain people's voices drive me up the wall.

Parents smacking their children (I've only got to here the very words "You're going to get a smack" to send me into panic mode).
People touching my head
People shouting and being very loud and boisterious.
People talking when I'm trying to complete a task.
Children running round
Crying kids
Balloons bursting

Being touched. Yuck! Worse, my mother thinks it's funny and won't stop touching me.

i hate loud talkative sounds, i don't like sticky things
i hate the heat...tho i live it everyday.
i dont feel comfortable around pretty people

i just dont

Chalk and charcoal give me goosebumps and an all around painful sort of sensation. I used to be the same way with pencils and always used pens. I still prefer mechanical pencils because they seem (to me) to sort of 'cut' or scratch the paper rather than that awful rubbing that dull, regular pencils or mechanical pencils with large leads do.

Newspaper. It used to be all paper, and when I was little I always Got my hands wet before writing. This didn't help the writing much lol.

Plain brown cardboard. I hate the smell, the feel and the sound of it rubbing together.

The sound people humming annoys me enormously. I always tell my mom to stop. I feel horrible but..I also feel horrible when she does it.

I love the feel of smooth, plastic like surfaces.

I'll share a few...

Bright lights. It's not as bad now as it used to be, when it would give me migraines and force me into a closet for 10-15 minutes to get over it. Though I still prefer dark or dimly lit places.
Strobe lights. Especially if they go off when it's dark. I was invited to a club once and they turned off the lights and started the strobe lights. I ended up becoming completely disoriented and had to be led around.
Heat. I don't handle heat very well. I'm currently sitting in my apartment at 3am with both the A/C on and a fan pointed at me because it's so uncomfortable. I may not get to sleep tonight (this morning?).

Heat
Humidity
Tight clothes
Machine noises
Shrieking
Perfumes that smell like pepper
Small spaces with other people
Metal forks

Heat (anything 80+ and I get really sick and dizzy within minutes and leaves me with a pounding headache)
Anything grainy on the floor. Beaches no prob, sugar on the kitchen floor ARGH
Baby crying (had to use ear plugs with my son or it was like someone turned my brain off, however older kids don't seem to bug me as much)
Phone rings
White Noise
Most vegetables and fruits (just something about the texture no matter how there are cooked)
Nails across paper (every time I accidentally do this I gag)
Tickling
Lotions
The feel of trying to put clothes on when you can't get dry all the way (i.e. bathroom doesn't have a vent to get rid of the shower steam, its humid weather, w/e)
Grinding glass
Spitting (idk, just something about seeing someone spit. I don't mind spit, just something about when someone does it makes me instantly nauseous)
The way spoiled milk looks (smell no prob)
Axe and other over powering perfumes and colognes
Too much bass (makes my ears ache SO bad)
Repeatability clicking or rattling
Open windows in the car (makes my hair whip me in the face even when its tied back)
Sight of dirty dish water (ARGH I want a dishwasher SO bad)
Being able to hear someone else's headphones (I don't have a prob with someone else's radio or anything, but if I can hear the headphones it drives me mad)
Shuffling paper (an office is such a dumb place for me to work, yay for music)
Snoring (about as bad as baby crying)
Any sound in the same room when I'm trying to write. I can stand it from the other room just fine though.
A lot of tastes, especially pickles. It comes anywhere near my food and I can taste it. I can taste lettus if it's touched my food too. I hate doing it, but most the time it's easier to lie and say I'm allergic to something when sending food back because someone just pulled something off. (btw, don't ever tell an aspie with a taste aversion 'oh, you can't taste that', it's just rude). Ketchup is another big one (no idea why because I'm fine with pizza and pasta sauce, as well as BBQ).
Being touched, even just a hand shake from anyone I'm not extremely close too and even then you have to catch me in the right mood or I'll get really uncomfortable from something as simple as a hug.
That whine saws make when they start cutting.
Tags in clothes
Sudden movements, probably more because I have no depth perception though cause I always think whatever is moving is going to hit me.



A lot of these are just uncomfortable to me but some completely derail me.

I absolutely despise hot weather, but I can tolerate it.
Certain fabrics really bother me, or shirt tags rubbing against me.
Hair in my face.
Itching.
I don't like being wet, unless I'm mentally prepared for it (such as showering or going to the river to camp).
Sometimes if someone touches me I flinch.
I'm sure there's more.

As far as sounds:
crying babies/screaming kids
anything high-pitched
clanging dishes or pans
silverware clanging or squealing against a dish
repetitive beeping

When I was a tot I freaked out over the sounds of sirens, vacuum cleaners and blow-dryers. I was born a congenital condition and had to wear casts as a baby. Eventually they had to be sawed off. My mother thinks that's why I freaked out. Who knows. I don't freak out over things anymore, but I get highly irritated.

For feeling, itcy stuff, tight stuff, and sticky stuff. For noises, popping balloons and fireworks

Noise: Stereos, dogs barking, loud children, and laughing.
Texture: Rough fabrics, metal, and foam.
Taste: Jello and other 'squishy' foods.
