Online shopping my beloved
Unless it's for clothing, cause then I need to feel the fabric texture first (unless the online store has a really good return policy and I can just ship most of it back)

yes! texture is also my primary criterion when choosing clothes. however, I might be okay with risking buying a shirt online depending on their return policy. I've committed to leaving reviews regarding the feel on clothes I buy. Something like, "Autism texture sensory approved. Feels like a loving mom telling you everything is okay."
Seriously though, sometimes the music pisses me off so much at restaurants and whatnot. I'm not really that interested in random songs playing so loud that I can't hear myself talk while I go places! I'd just rather stay home or go outside instead.
I'm not autistic but I still dissociate in shopping malls. So many fragrances, logos, commotion. Sensory overload!
God fr every time I get so excited to go to the mall with friends because woag!! Lots of cool stuff everywhere !! Then boom overstimulated 😔
