I was in art class (I'm 17) and I tried to grab a chalk pastel, but I gagged immediately upon touching it.
I LOVE chalk pastels - they leave so much vibrancy behind and stuff, but it's like my body perceives it as some sort of danger because I get really tense, I grit my teeth, and I feel nauseated while working with them. :/
I really appreciated reading that sensory processing deficits can be inconsistent; meaning, present one day and not the next. That is absolutely my experience
When I was younger I remember having many sensory issues that went undetected or were seen as being a disrespectful child. Most of my symptoms have persisted
