Image: Two images almost identical to each other stacked vertically. The top one is the back of a neck of a person wearing a sweater with the tag sticking out. It is captioned "What it looks like". The bottom image is the exact same image but the sweater's tag has been replaced with a cactus. It is captioned "What it feels like".

This isn't autism, this is universal.

The problem with tags is often amplified with Autism and a lot of neurotypicals do not struggle with this whatsoever, I don't know anyone who does.

I'd prefer more specific posts, but this post is fine.
