I am too junior to demand that it be switched off but it is terrible for me.
I get really itchy from tags too ! But again, I always assumed it was normal until I read somewhere online about how ADHD makes you more sensitive to it. I'm also really sensitive to my skin's contact with chairs (esp when wearing dresses); and am very sensitive to smells.
Sometimes even a glass will smell funny to me and I'd feel like the drink is so gross because I can smell things (that others can't) or that I'd hear noises that others seem to ignore.
I'd also take notice of small random things I see

Ya, for me, it's only small sensory things. Nothing that would affect how I live my life dramatically. It's just something no one would normally find wrong, but it would be considered sensory processing issues, just nothing major for me luckily.
If this affects you dramatically, I would suggest bringing it up with your pdoc or t or some MH specialist if you can't deal with it.
