Anything going on to either side of me is too distracting. Likewise, sounds.

I can remember having problems with sensory issues ever since I was three-four years old. In what I've read and in discussions with my T, problems with sensory integration issues are quite common with children and adults who have ADHD.
Clothing tags, loud sounds, TV (the sound from commercials are torture for me), tightness/looseness of shoes, collars, clothing and bedding materials, too many people in the same room, etc. are some of the more common stimuli that are agitating to people with sensory issues relating to ADHD. Some people with ADHD also have full blown Sensory Integration Disorder comorbid to the ADHD (that must be pure hell--ack!).
Tags on the collar are horrifying for me. As an FYI to those who have the same problem, the Hanes clothing company now makes their clothes TAG-FREE!! WOOHOO!
