Anyone else have sensitivity to cotton balls?

polyester fleece feels so horrible I can't even touch it, but I like cotton fleece. The sound that spider webs make when you touch or disturb them is the most horrible sound of all.

I thought I was the only one! I have cold shivers going down my spine now, just thinking about it.

One boy at school found out about my aversion and used to chase me around the classroom with a cotton ball.

I can relate too,funny that it's the same for so many of us,I thought it was just me.I have to use a lot of moisturizer on my hands before I can touch anything made of cotton.

I had an aunt who was terribly affected by even the thought of cotton batton balls.

I don't think she was on the spectrum, tho'. I think she was just nutz.

I can't stand cotton balls......

Its almost as bad as the sound a big texta makes when people write with it on paper....

Just reading these posts is making me shudder

Im 17 ever since i was a kid i couldn’t touch cotton balls i’d hate getting nail polish removed i didn’t like my nails painted because i didn’t want to be touched by them it’s a gritty feeling that gives you goosebumps and it hurts my teeth even thinking about them gives me goosebumps. It’s a phobia called sidonglobophobia. I’m not deathly afraid of them but i do feel that feeling and haven’t met anybody else that knows the feeling it’s rare.

Ugh, yes - I can hardly even think about them without getting that horrible sensation they cause, just from touching them at all. Can’t stand them.

This might sound stupid, but just thinking about them makes me feel shivery .
