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".

I rip them out even if it damages the shirt a little bit.. (if it can’t be done without completely destroying it I just won’t buy it to begin with)

No idea who thinks it’s perfectly fine to add itchy scratchy annoying tags right where they’re most annoying!

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.
