For my entire life, I’ve absolutely hated the sensation of being touched by fingernails or toenails. It’s like being hit with a bolt of electricity and I can still feel the sensation long after being touched. It literally sends into internal meltdown mode. I’ve ended many relationships, including marriages, because of this. My wife now, she understands and keeps her nails short. She touches me flat handed so that I don’t freak out and she doesn’t put her feet on me.
Going to the store and dealing with the loud talkers, the ignorant and the disrespectful is challenging enough. But having a clerk with long nails hand me change that I know is going to brush her nails against me is something that completely ruins my day.
As Aspies, we all have our one thing that sends us to the moon in .1 seconds or less. But, I’ve yet to meet anther Aspie that is as sensitive as I am with nails. Just curious if anyone else out there has this problem?
