What are common challenges with brains that notice touch more?

Avoiding certain textures Finding tags or seams uncomfortable Being bothered by unexpected touch

What can I try to help with brains that notice touch more?

Cut ALL tags out of clothing before wearing them. Buy seamless socks and underwear if seams bother you. Many brands now make sensory-friendly clothing lines with flat seams and soft fabrics. When buying new clothes, touch the fabric before trying it on. If it does not feel right on your hands, it will not feel right on your body. Trust your first reaction. If someone touches you unexpectedly and it bothers you, it is okay to say: "I prefer not to be touched without warning. It is a sensory thing, not a personal thing." You have every right to control what touches your body.
