Things That Bug People With ADHD - Sand and Shoelaces

You won’t find Sensory Overwhelm in the Diagnostic Manual of ADHD symptoms, but many of us have trouble with sensory input. ADHD is more than just an inability to manage thoughts and focus. It’s about physical distractions. From all of our senses. We may be overly sensitive to loud sounds, bright lights, or unexpected and unfamiliar touch. A light touch can be the worst. Unusual fabrics, tags on new clothes, or stray hairs during a haircut and be incredibly agitating. Our discomfort may be so intense that we avoid certain situations entirely. I n my case, it was spending a day at the beach. The gritty, granular, abrasive beach!
